The pieces are inspired by her artist residency at Greenwich House Pottery in Manhattan's West Village (2006-2009) and are intended to present moments of calm in the chaos of the city- quiet landscapes and encounters with nature. After 7 years in Brooklyn, the SKT studio made a permanent home in Cincinnati, Ohio. The pieces merge her love of painting, drawing, printmaking and ceramics. Each one-of-a-kind piece reflects the detailed process used to make it and is designed to bring delight to your home and table for years to come.

Abraham Lincoln
Central Business District
By George Grey Bernard, 1917 Nationally renowned artist George Grey Barnard took nearly five years to complete the 11-foot sculpture. When it was unveiled, the public sharply criticized his interpretation of Lincoln, with its oversized hands and feet and gaunt, beardless face. Today the work is considered to be one of the most eloquent representations of the humanity of the 16th U.S. President. The sculpture and the Federal style home at the end of Lytle Park, now The Taft Museum, were gifts to the people of Cincinnati by Anna Sinton Taft and Charles Phelps Taft.

Aggravation de l’Espace

By Jean Boutellis, 1980 Painted bright red, this abstract sculpture is poised on three appendages, and is geometric and minimal in its style.

The sculpture now stands as a beacon to direct traffic around the bend and along the axis of Central Parkway. Streetcar Stop #5: JACK Casino station, Court & Main
