Their work includes pottery, paintings, sculpture, mixed media, and prints.They often use the raku method ti fire their ceramic pieces. Using this technique with a reduction process can produce intensive colors on these decorative pieces. In addition they use a lot of found objects such bones and tools.
Both ladies are high school art teachers. Peterson is at the Oswego High School and Sheldon at Mexico Academy and Central School.
