Gwen's work in clay, lyrical and moving, is an expression of a fantastical intersection of the human and natural realms. Her work aims to reveal the heroine/hero archetype. Like an excavator of the primordial landscape, Gwen uncovers the ancient origins of the tender hearted warrior. Clay provides the perfect elemental contact with the Earth itself and to the human creative lineage. Her pieces have been described as "projecting a secret garden with a touch of sadness."

Gwen is a pioneer of the inner and outer landscapes of this life. She grew up in the soggy bottoms and rocky crags of the Mississippi River Valley exploring under rocks, around bends and out yonder. Summers brought her to the Ponderosa Pine haven of the Rocky Mountains. She has traveled out beyond into the thick wilds of nature and ancient roads of human civilization. Gwen received her Biology degree from SEMO University, with a minor in Fine Arts. Buddhist philosophy and meditation is the connective tissue that joins “heaven and earth” in her life's endeavors. When not in the studio, she is writing with friends, coaching personal growth clients or herding chickens.
