Happy Holidays!

As this year comes to a close, I want to thank you for your patience and continued support. It has been a year full of so many life happenings, which meant I wasn’t able to create as much pottery as I had hoped, but I am truly grateful for all of it—and for all of you.​

The photo above, Half Dome in Yosemite, is one I was incredibly excited to capture, and I am still so happy to have experienced its magnificent grandeur in person. From the moment I knew we were going to Yosemite, Ansel Adams was in the back of my mind, and I could hardly believe I would get to visit one of the places that was so important to him. His work had a big influence on my early photography days in the darkroom, and in appreciation of what his artistry meant to me, I knew I wanted to submit this image to Auric Gallery’s “Gratitude” exhibit.​

As our “life happenings” continued, I missed the deadline for the show, but I’m still delighted to share the photo—and a little piece of my gratitude—with you. Ending the year on a high note, I would love to see you tomorrow at Auric Gallery’s Holiday Open House from 11–3 pm, where I, along with a handful of other amazing artists, will be sharing our work. It will be a wonderful place to find that last-minute perfect gift. Wishing you the happiest of holidays and an amazing new year!​
