A graduate of The Philadelphia College of Art, Ms. Oerth is a prolific and prize-winning artist who now teaches Intermediate Ceramics and Tile Making for The Art League.

Her most recent commission, for a kitchen backsplash, sized 3 x 6 feet, featured a scene of Tuscuny, executed in overglazed enamels, since the customer wanted a very painterly feel to the art work. Ms. Oerth favors commission work because it allows her to incorporate her artistic vision into a work that becomes part of the architecture of a room.
In addition to tile and mural work, she makes sculpture and vessels. These pieces encompass her emphasis on surface design, and recently she is exploring a new palette of brightly colored glazes. In addition to ceramics, Ms. Oerth loves painting, printmaking and collage.

She hopes for further opportunity to expand her mural work into public spaces. Also she collaborates with groups and organizations that want to create a mural under her masterful technical and artistic supervision.

Price range: $150 - $250 per square foot for mural work
