Welcome to my studio

My love of clay, my love of Christ and my love of nature have played a central role in my life for as long as I can remember.   Even as a small child, I always carried a piece of clay in my hand.  Over the years those little lumps of clay became ducks, dancing bears, figures of the saints... my imagination, combined with love and encouragement from my family kept my fingers working as my love of sculpture slowly grew. 

My studio is one of my favorite places on earth; it's not fancy, but a place that speaks to me of comfort... when I walk inside, it smells of warm clay, incense, wax and peace…I have treasured every second and feel blessed beyond measure to be working in such a special place. 

My sculptural work centers around two different themes; my liturgical (spiritual) work, and my non-liturgical (whimsical) work - Singing Turtle Studio.  Travel with me as we explore the interconnectedness of both the spiritual and the child-like.

In my studio you’ll meet many family members; in particular, Ignacio and Juju, our two standard poodles, who would love a pet from you!  They are my examples of how to embrace the moment!  How could I not include them?
 

I'll also be posting a monthly "Bené Bronze" newsletter containing updates and photos of projects I am currently working on.  So grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back and relax as the clay warms and the work beckons.


Again, welcome!
