All this time, you are working hard on your own art, getting videos ready, being a Mom, an artist, and a "You Tuber". Did you also know how much of an inspiration you are to others? At 63, I came to ceramics and fell in love. And one of the biggest reasons how I did that was by watching your work here. You are more than what you think, and your voice and your art matter.

You are more than a artist. You are truly an inspiration and a wonderful human being. Your work is stunning. You are the reason I started working with clay again. The beautiful things you make take my breath away. I am disabled and you gave me faith to try clay again.
So ty. Your sons are absolutely adorable too 😊

I am quite sure that your son will be a future artist! Perhaps as talented as you?! Your pieces are quite stunning! Soooo beautiful!

Thank you for your generosity with techniques and showing your unique process. I had to step away from doing ceramics for a year and a half, but am starting to get back into what I have loved throughout my life of 47 years: playing with mud.

Your dignity and grace, along with generosity, are so welcoming and inspiring.

With Gratitude and best wishes.
