INK ON INC. – May 2022

Art is a lifelong happy struggle. We absolutely complicate our lives in the pursuit of our passion that only comes when we make work. I think it’s better to keep thinking of yourself as a student of art and see each piece you create as another step toward the greater works you will make as your journey continues. We can so easily simply stop making art, making music, writing, acting and everything will be …simpler! You could just skip the mental struggle that keeps you up at night trying to create what’s in your heart. All I can say is in 47 years of sculpting and potting my worst years were when I couldn’t make art except in my mind. I cannot imagine living without clay stuck under my fingernails and smudging my clothes.
