After studying drawing and clay Turrou became interested in tile-making. She learned about the "cuerda seca" technique and spent considerable time perfecting this technique.
Turrou spent some time working with a Native American ceramist and they made tiles for floors, fireplaces, kitchen counters and walls. After branching off into jewelry making, Turrou again was drawn back to tile work and it became his main focus. She developed a formula for a black wax resist line, crucial to the "cuerda seca" technique.
Her tiles feature nature - rustic landscapes, leaves, birds, many with an Arts and Crafts style. The colors are mostly earthy greens, browns and terra cotta. Customers enjoy the tiles as wall decor or to stand on small easels like a miniature painting. She even depicts the Grove Park Inn on a tile - a perfect memento of your stay here.
