Antoinette creates wheel-thrown and hand-built porcelain objects. Her signature sculpted vessels are featured in public and private collections worldwide and are often compared to the works of the USA artist, Georgia O'Keeffe. Antoinette draws inspiration from life itself, as it unfolds in nature. Energy surrounds us, keeping things in motion and fostering growth. It touches our senses and emotions, influencing our lives in ways we may not even realize.
The cycle of life is constant, with every moment bringing change. As one season peaks, another begins to form. Babies are born; people grow old and pass away. Raindrops form streams, flow across the earth, freeze, melt, soak into the ground, or evaporate into the air, forming clouds once more. People talk, sing, and dance. They experience happiness and sadness. They live, love, hate, and hope for what’s to come. Through it all, life keeps moving. A bird in flight, a swimming fish, a galloping giraffe, a road to nowhere, and music notes. Laughter breaking the silence. Energy inspires and motivates her to create porcelain art. In the creative process, there is movement. When a piece transitions from her hands to yours, the energy embodied in the artwork is transferred to you.
The functional porcelain objects made by Antoinette replicate Fine China, but is fully handmade from porcelain clay and NOT from Bone China, either on the pottery wheel or by one of the hand building techniques that she uses. Functional work is mostly translucent, lightweight, microwave safe (if it does not have gold or silver trimming) and dishwasher safe.
She continues the signature designs she use in her sculpted work in carving on her functional work.
