I graduated Earlham College in 1988 with a degree in Biology and a minor in Ceramics. My ceramics has actually constituted a larger part of my career than the biology, but my work reflects both adequately. I pursue explorations in texture and pattern in much of my studio production, and have a very unique method I developed for making natural expression tiles and mosaics, sculptures, and vessels.
My name is Romula, but I also go by as RHaw Creations. My main art discipline is ceramics and pottery, with a focus in mask making. I am also well versed in Figure Drawing and Sculpture (wood, metal, recyclable material, etc.). I have also began teaching Acrylic Pouring, using the Dutch pouring method. In regards to jewelry making, I am proficient in macrame knotting using Hemp cordage and adding pendants and stones to these pieces. Glass Painting, is a new skill that I have taken the time to learn and teach.
Growing up, I always wanted to be an Architectural Engineer. However, after my freshman year in college, my life changed course. I joined the Air Force in 1971, got married in 1972 and devoted myself to raising a family.
I made my first and only wire art piece in 1972 for my father's 50th birthday where it hung for many years in his den until his death. Afterwards, it was created up and stored, but I received it back in 2024. My partner saw it, and she has encouraged me to start again. So, after I retired in February of 2025, I began again and Wire Works became a reality.
a multi-talented creative with a passion for modeling, fashion design, and painting. As a model, I love bringing concepts to life—whether it’s high-fashion elegance or bold, artistic expression. In fashion design, I create statement pieces that celebrate individuality and challenge creative boundaries. My paintings are filled with vibrant colors, textures, and stories, capturing emotion and culture in a way that connects deeply with people.
