Ceramic Handmade Tile Installations

I'm insatiable when it comes to customer installation photos. It's always such a thrill to see the tiles I made become part of a happy home like this one.  This beautiful kitchen in Pennsylvania features warm wood cabinetry, mottled green field tiles from another maker, and a glowing mix of my honey-glazed tiles sprinkled throughout. A 6x6 sunflower takes center stage above the stove, with smaller 3x3s featuring plants and animals adding charm and character all around the room. The honey glaze plays so nicely against the green, and I love how everything comes together to create a homey, inviting...

This "birds on a branch" set in amber brown glaze has been installed in a splendid new kitchen in Washington state, and I was overjoyed to receive these lovely photos of such a thoughtfully designed space: Above: close up of the birds on a branch set over the stove Above: the whole kitchen; Below, the tiles along with other design elements before they were installed The photos came with a lovely message: "We've been telling people this is our dream kitchen, and your art is a central part of that dream, having people join together in a welcoming warm space. I...

Some projects feel more like collaborations than commissions, and this one definitely falls into that category. This luminous kitchen belongs to fellow artist Jean Sausele Knodt, and I was thrilled when she reached out about including some of my tiles in her remodel. It always feels deeply meaningful when another artist chooses my work for their home. There’s an unspoken understanding that the details matter, that every choice adds up to something more than the sum of its parts. Jeanie and her husband brought tremendous thoughtfulness to the design, selecting a calm, natural palette with just the right amount of...

Sometimes all it takes is one thoughtful design element to turn a beautiful space into one that truly sings. When this client in California got in touch, her kitchen had just been beautifully remodeled: warm, mid-tone wood cabinets, black and pale gray counters, and a subtle, coordinating backsplash. It was calm, inviting, and full of natural warmth, but she felt it needed a little something more....

The glazes she chose: Honey, Gray, White, and...

The fireplace in a beach house in South Carolina just got an upgrade! The homeowners chose a mix of seaside plants and animals for their fireplace feature tiles- so fitting for the coastal setting. The combination of honey and spearmint glazes enhances the breezy, ocean-inspired feel, and I can’t get over how beautifully the honey glaze complements the hardwood floors. A turtle and octopus make an appearance among the 4x4 field tiles, along with other animals like a dolphin, crab and starfish. One of my favorite things about this installation is how they chose to frame herons and cattails to...

One of the most rewarding parts of being an artist is connecting with other creators whose work inspires me. That’s why I’m over the moon (pun intended!) to share this special story of an art exchange with the incredibly talented Sylvie Abecassis. Sylvie is one of my absolute favorite artists, so it’s a dream come true that she chose my moon tiles to be part of her bathroom. Here are the moon tiles in their new home, and seeing them installed in her beautiful space truly makes my heart sing. What’s even more special is that Sylvie and I seem...

I’m thrilled to share this incredible bathroom remodel by fellow Ohio artist, Angela of "Cultivate Your Creative" and her husband. They took on this project entirely themselves, and the result is nothing short of amazing! What truly stands out in this remodel is the way the handmade art tiles seem to cascade beneath the showerhead, creating the illusion of a serene waterfall. The design evokes a peaceful, calming vibe, transforming the space into a tranquil oasis. It’s the perfect blend of artistry and functionality—where every detail contributes to a relaxing atmosphere. Angela mentioned that they are so happy with how...

I just have to share this incredible project by a very talented woodworker in New York state! W.S. built this stunning oak mantle and installed the tiles himself, and I’m completely in awe of how it all came together. W.S. chose feature tiles from my catalog that have a special meaning for him. These tiles are glazed in "spearmint," a soft and versatile green. To go with them, he picked "glossy jade" field tiles from Mineral Tiles, and I can barely believe how perfectly the two brands of tiles blend together—it’s truly a match made in heaven! One of the...
