Wanted to say thank you for coming over to the new site! I am so incredibly excited to launch this new chapter of my life. At the age of 50, I have found myself as a different kind of artist. I am amazed and humbled to have stumbled upon this at this stage in my life. I don't think I even realized how lonely and scared I was, which is what started it all. Having my head down I just carried on. I cooked and cleaned and wiped down everything that came into the house. Skin peeling from all the sanitizing. Falling into the news cycle at night, hiding the terror that I was so far from my husband while the world was locking down. So I picked up a pencil and started to draw. And what came out were faces. The faces I missed, the faces of the pandemic dying. Faces and faces and more faces. I created my own community, my own way to live, to mourn, to survive. Isn't that why art is so important? That poem you read, that book you couldn't put down. The song that spoke directly to your heartbreak. I hope my 'faces' speak to you. I hope my pottery moves you. I put all of myself into my art. Each dish, cup, painting carries my spirit and soul within it. To begin again....
