Tinka is currently the vice chair of the Orange County Arts Commission Advisory Board. She describes her figurative clay works as "full of surface cracks, fissures and imperfections that express the earth, the passing of time, our mortality, and the search for spirituality. I work on them until they look back at me." Pedestal with some cracks and hairlines, some possibly in the firing (appear stable); base rim with chipping and area of crack and repair.
