Karen Howell Superdog Tile

G Squared loves dogs and this tile is what a dog's life is all about. Pittsburgh artist Karen Howell has created this 6 x 6 inch ceramic tile in honor of all the dogs who love riding in cars.

Tiles and mosaics are the focus of Karen's work. Various designs and colors are available. The work is inspired by flora and fauna - animals and the outdoors. Each piece is handcrafted and painted with glazes which are then fired to achieve a gloss or matte surface.

Karen Howell (b. 9/28/48) has been creating functional pottery and one-of-a-kind pieces for more the forty years.
