If I set up my booth with all my ceramics, you would ask where the other two artist's were.  All I can say is there is a practical side of me that needs to make functional ware and there is the fun side of me that loves trompel'oeil art.  I get great satisfaction when someone thinks my work is real and not clay.  Making purses or suitcases that look familiar and well worn makes me feel like they belonged to somebody, and they were a necessity at some point in their life.  Hopefully the observer will see something that brings back memories, or makes them think of the past in their life.  My brushes are a duel effort of my husband Arthur, and myself.  My "whimsical kimono birdhouse with nails" are just fun to make.
