Pamela Tidwell presents an exquisite adaption of nature in the style of 18th century Meissen and Chinese porcelain.  Each piece is sculpted entirely by hand, in hard paste porcelain and painted with richly colored glazes.   Primarily working with botanicals she draws inspiration from the garden.  Her fascination with nature and the garden has been a lifelong passion. She began working with porcelain clay over 20 years ago strictly as an outside interest, beginning with fruits and vegetables and eventually adding flowers.    She brings her love of all things beautiful to individual fruits, vegetables, floral compositions.  Her work as been featured in Southern Accents Magazine and Veranda.com
