Working Clay

I'm excited to say that I'm working some very new ideas in clay.  I have several projects that I want to complete and get growth.  My goal is to continue to increase my skill level and produce high quality work. Even though I will be very busy working on several projects for this fall and winter, I will be attending several receptions.

Winning Round 1

I'm producing, growing, learning and positioning into every possible opportunity.  Art is a way of life and there is the spirit of creativity in all of us.  Some may have forgotten or just need to reconnect with it.  Remember the times when the sky really was the limit.  If you are not there or don't have that feeling, now is the time to capture that moment.  We live in an ever changing world.  It is up to each one of us how many sunrises or sunsets we witness.  It is up to us how many seeds we sow in good soil.  The Farmer is one of the greatest artist of our time.  For all we need to know is based on farming.

The Tremendous Impact of Art

Art has so many positive things associated with it.  I wanted to take time to share some good news.  Art has a positive influence on the mind.  Art plays a role in helping with memory.  You can go online and see there are doctors that are on board with letting the world know this fact.  Doctors are seeing results with Dementia and Alzheimer's patients.  Art can more mountains and bring winds of change to any students life.  A student that is involved in the arts contributes volunteer work in the community 4X more than a student that isn't into art.  Students are 4x times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement, participate in math and science fairs and participate in youth groups.  Additionally these same students are 3X more likely to win an award for perfect attendance and be elected to a leadership position in school clubs.  One other thing that most people might already know that the "student artist" reads for the pure enjoyment of reading twice as much or more then most students.  Art strengthens student problem-solving and critical thinking skills which leads to academic achievement and overall school success.
