 Hummingbird Hollow Studio is
located... surprise, surprise... in a hollow. My little cottage-style studio is surrounded on
three sides by woods teeming with wildlife. Looking out any of the many
windows it's typical to see deer, rabbits, wild turkeys, bird and, of
course, the ever-present and oft-times pesky squirrels.
I've hung bird feeders
and hummingbird feeders around the studio. I can't wait each year until
the hummingbirds return and I hate to see them leave.
In one window of the studio
my son, Chris, installed
a bird feeder that extends into the studio. The feeder is mirrored
allowing those inside the studio to see the birds feeding without the
birds being able to see them. The squirrels found it finally so now I have
to put a pepper-mix on the seeds. They learn fast!
I have plans to clear a
small area on one side of the studio for a sitting area. I envision a
small "fairy" garden with a bench and some of my work hanging from the
tree limbs. I've planted a
myriad of plants that hopefully will someday provide beautiful changing
colors throughout the year (if the deer will stop eating most of them!).
I love having my hands in
clay. I love experimenting with glazes. I live to get into the studio. I
love
exploring all the combinations of textures when creating many of my original
pieces. I was a painter for many years, but once I found clay I knew I'd
found my home-corner in the world of creativity.
Music is an integral part of
my life and each piece is created with a musical theme in mind. Just like
my art, my musical tastes are eclectic. You'll see musical flavors and
themes in all of my pieces. Sometimes it's the blues, sometimes jazz, hard
rock, classical, country... it just depends on my mood.
Every piece of pottery or
sculpture I creates is unique, never to be repeated exactly.
