Florida Gator Game Day Porcelain 8" Serving Plate

This piece began as a playful nod to the wild beauty of the South. A hand-painted alligator emerges on crisp white porcelain, its form loose and expressive, layered in rich earthy reds and deep coastal blues. I wanted the brushstrokes to feel alive and imperfect, almost as if the gator surfaced mid-moment, catching your eye and inviting conversation. Both functional and artful, this plate is meant to be displayed, shared, and enjoyed — a bold statement that blends Southern charm with painterly storytelling.
