Jan and George have been creating works jointly and independently in clay for 50 years. These are a few examples
“"I Believe In Norma Jean" joint work”
The Belief series has many works in it. Some of them reference famous people; others are more abstract.
“"I Believe In Little Richard" joint work”
Part of a group of ceramic sculptures created over the span of their career, the "I Believe" works began with a grouping of abstract pieces entitled "The Belief Group". They were first shown at the Butler Institute of Art in Youngstown, Ohio. "Little Richard" was first shown in Denver, Colorado.
“"Arizona Sunrise" joint work”
A recent slab built vessel, a joint piece, 21 inches high. Recently shown at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ and was part of the 2011 Vasefinder International online exhibit.
“"Mock Turtle" by Janet Trisler”
Part of a series of "lichen pots" created over the years by Janet.
“"Tsk, Tsk, Tse, Tse" by Janet Trisler”
Something else Janet likes to do is to put quotations from her favorite authors on her pieces. Here, she summons up Ogden Nash with his short witticism on "Aunt Betsy".
