Artist Statement
Throwing clay is exhilarating. On the first night I sat at a potter’s wheel, the feeling of wet clay spinning through my fingers drew me in. With my hands I can form a bowl, cup or plate from a lump of clay. Years later, it still amazes me.
I was strictly a two-dimensional artist until I touched clay. Now I wrap illustrations and patterns around three-dimensional forms. The marriage of two disciplines fascinates me. Creating the right balance is my focus.
My choices are influenced by my surroundings. I walk in the woods looking for unexpected bursts of color. I stalk antique stores searching for fresh forms. I touch produce at the market. I observe patterns in textiles and architecture. I study well-made objects.
The reward is hearing that my piece has in a special spot in someone’s home, but is also used at their table. Decorative. Functional. Fine art for an everyday purpose.

Ok, so how do I do that? Do I have to have a Facebook page first? I'm guessing I do. I'll look into it and see if i can get it done.
Great time the other night, and I put in a word with Colleen for you. She wrote back and said when they could finally decide what they were going to go with she'd call you.

Love your pigeon.
Thanks Linda,
The pigeon was illustrated by my friend Roberta Polfus. She is a professional illustrator and a fantastic potter. There are links to her sites on my blog.
