Show: Home with a Heart
Artwork – especially clay work – is a spiritual practice for me. Exploring the “Heart Center” has been a critical piece of my journey. It is in the heart center that I find/feel the qualities of love, mercy, compassion and empathy…for myself, my family, my friends and the world as a whole. I am drawn to try to express those qualities in my work. Often, when sitting in the heart center, there is the sense that the pieces come through me and I say to myself, “well look who/what showed up today”. I hope in the process to touch your heart as well. Thank you for witnessing them.
