“Saucy Minx” began as a traditional sculpted head, but true to her name, she refused to stay ordinary. What started as a classic study in form took a mischievous turn—her terracotta complexion became a canvas for bold acrylics and a teasing neck tattoo that hints at a story beneath the surface. In the spirit of the Pottery Palooza theme -  Inside Out, this piece reveals the artist’s impulse to push beyond convention, turning what was once refined and reserved into something spirited, unexpected, and delightfully self-assured. Like the mysteries that inspired her, “Saucy Minx” keeps her secrets close, but she’s not afraid to let a little personality show through.
