A friend shared this photo of my art that she sees multiple times every day with her grand daughter at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. She said that the colors and joy of the art is helping her family during this stressful time. THIS is why I make art! It's so satisfying to know that my work can be a small comfort to people during a difficult time. hope you all are having a great weekend---and hope you are making art---it's tough out there and people need to smile!!! #art #mentalHealth

If you have been following my work, you probably know that pottery season is OVER--I don't have plans to make pots in the near future, BUT I did get in the mud for a few hours today to make bowls for an upcoming benefit for my community's Food Bank. Will trim tomorrow and glaze next week--stay tuned! #pottery #emptybowls #kentucky #handmade
