At first look, the porcelain works of Olivia Walker seem to have some sort of botanical influence. Turns out it’s coral. Walker explores growth and decay through the addition and subtraction of tiny pieces of porcelain clay to the initial vessel she’s created, each shape speaking to her and dictating the final result.
Multidisciplinary artist Josie Lewis creates works that make me – and I’m guessing lots of others – insanely happy! Winding trails of graduated colored circles that travel over and under themselves on their journey, abstract moments caught forever in resin that remind me of the prettiest petri dishes, and so much more.

Sky blends into land blends into… horse? Yes. What looks to be grasslands, plains, and more are actually the carefully photographed backs of horses. Lee Diegaard‘s Equuleus project is a single part of a longterm multi-media project entitled In Your Dreams (Horses) that explores the creature’s personality traits, as well as sensory processing, experiences between horse and human, and more abstract concepts.
Cosmetic cases are small artworks unto themselves, just looking at all of those little compartments filled with saturated color leave me ready to create. But Geneva-based artist Sylvie Fleury takes them to another level by painting shaped canvases that recreate their beauty on a larger scale. When it comes down to brass tacks, an artist’s palette and a makeup artist’s tools of the trade aren’t much different.
I’ve been thinking a bit about what’s on my own Christmas list this year and I wouldn’t mind one little bit if one of Gloria Landenberger‘s handmade ceramic masks showed up under the tree. Each one is made and assembled by hand in limited editions, the end result being glazed stoneware with a unique look.
Half of November is gone already, so if you include an advent calendar in your holiday traditions it’s time to start thinking about this year’s. Here are 25 you can buy or DIY – no judgement either way! The Tree Advent Calendar is what we’ll be using to countdown the days in my home this December.
