These three dimensional ceramic wall sculptures I refer to as “Heart Boxes”. They have been given other definitions by people such as “altars”, “sacred sanctuaries of the soul”, and inspirational wall sculptures; but all evoke different emotions, ranging from sadness, gladness, delight and whimsy. Many an observer has shared a heart- rending experience, tearful story. I feel honored to create something that reaches inside and touches another human being. Born of a difficult and challenging passage in my own life; these forms emerged out of a vision to have others look inside and see the beauty and vulnerability in another being. During this search for hope, the vision in my mind joined with the clay in my hands, became the heart box. Every day that I sit down in my studio and begin stamping each letter one-at-a-time, I am realizing how much I am practicing and absorbing the messages in these famous quotes. I call it a “merging of work, meditation and play”.

Quotes

When you have come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off the cliff into the unknown; faith is knowing one of two things will happen….There will be something solid to stand or or you will be taught how to fly.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take…but by the moments that take our breath away.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. (Anais Nin)

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.

The minute I heard my first love story I started looking for you; not knowing how blind that was….Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere, they are in each other all along. (Rumi)

We cannot express the light in nature because we have not the sun. We can only express the light we have in ourselves. (Meister Johann Eckart)

It is with the heart that one sees rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye. (H. Jackson Brown Jr.)

There are two ways of spreading light…To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. (Edith Wharton.)

I will love the light for it shows me the way, Yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. (Og Mandino)

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them. (Kahlil Gibran)

Friendship is a promise made in the heart; unbreakable by distance, unchangeable by time.

Trust what your heart knows.

Xoxoxo marks the spot.

Now I become myself; it’s taken time, many years and places.

Let your heart see what your eyes cannot.

Time has passed through me and become a song. (Holly Near)

Trust what your heart knows.

Of all fires, love is the only inexhaustible one. ( Pablo Neruda)

Dance with me…dance with me…all night long…We are the music…we are the song. (Nikki Giovanni)

Live by the sun, dance by the moon.

The voice of the sea speaks to the soul.

Listen to your heart above all other voices.
