These three are now part of my collection from one of my favorite ceramic artist. I am slowly collecting these to make one large piece. With these I now have eight tiles. Here is a little biography on Kathleen Koltes from the Museum of New Mexico Foundation:
"The ceramic work of Kathleen Koltes is functional yet highly decorative. The processes that she uses on her stoneware clay include silkscreen, stamping, drawing and painting. Her recent works have been inspired by the portraits of Modigliani. A consistent theme in her work is derived from plant forms - the result of years as a professional gardener. Kathleen constantly looks for images to use on her ceramics. Ususally, the quirkier, the better! She has been a ceramic artist for 13 years and has lived in Santa Fe for the past 4 years. She has a BFA in Fiber Arts from St. Cloud University in Minnesota."

Those are absolutely fabulous and so unique. I can understand why you collect them.
Very unique. How many more do you need?
I wonder if Kathleen Koltes is originally from MN since she went to Saint Cloud State. She is so talented that I'd like to claim her, too! You are so smart to start a collection of her work. Love your photo of it today!
Very interesting artist. The tiles are nice, Randy.
Wow, very cool. I love to see what people are doing with clay. Interesting that her BFA was in fiber arts- that's the thing w/ creativity... once you start, it can take you in so many different directions!! Hope you had a good, non-frustrating, successful day in the media lab. Some day you'll have to let us all know what exactly you are doing in there!
Have a great start to the week!
those are neat. can't wait to see how you place them all together. :)
These are great Randy!
Randy, these are wonderful pieces. When you complete your group, you will have give us a peek. What a great idea!
A very neat collection you've got started already! I can imagine a lot of time is spent creating these master pieces! BTW, I hope you blow the dust off your Minolta X-700!
Step aside, please, I'd like a closer look! Ummmm, pottery!
Neat tiles. I can see why you like her work.
These are beautiful. What are you planning to do with the larger work, just put them together? That would look great.
The one in the middle looks like John Lennon by Modigliani! I just love the two outer ones, gorgeous.

These are really great! What a fantastic mosaic you're about to make. Hope you'll show us one day. :-)
