Hilary Harnischfeger's art captivates the eye and seduces the senses. Her green-tinted and swirling asymmetrical ceramics, their amazing slanting surfaces embedded with bits of turquoise, pyrite, and something called Herkimer diamonds, are sculptures by another name.

They're more than paintings; they exude magical allure.
