Mountain Cherry Tree
This is my interpretation of what a very old cherry tree would look like, living in a mountain region, under harsh conditions.Iron, copper, Three Rivers Montana rock. Tony Hermanutz, Bellingham, WA. $30,000
Joan of Arc
Historical, spiritual female leaders are often the subject
of my work. While working with, and changing the shape
of the clay, at some point the piece takes on a life of its own.
My goal is to allow its pure expression to come through without the interference of ego or will. In doing this, I feel connected to the person or entity I am imaging. Tenino sandstone, columnar basalt.
