Rhea ... gift of the Adirondacks

Rhea - Adirondack Pottery - pieces from the William Coffey Gallery in Northville, NY

Every so often an artist grabs my attention. Rhea has certainly turned my head.

Being someone who has a passion for creating art, I can appreciate what it's like when your work is recognized and there is an energy to share it out even further.

Given that my blog has been picked up around the world, I want to share what this woman is creating.

I will let you wander the pictures,  to feel the creation of this artist's view of beauty.

Creation of beautiful pieces certainly flows through her gifted hands.

Rhea's pottery is only part of her story. Her oil paintings are breathtaking.

I'm stealing a quote that a friend shared on Facebook yesterday. It seems so fitting. Grab your coffee and let this filter through your thoughts ....

Quote of Ned Beauman's, speaking of Olafur Eliasson in the NYTimes mag nearly 9 months ago: " He believes that in normal life we have a tendency to hurry along on autopilot, seldom questioning our deeper assumptions. Art, by goosing the senses, can make us more conscious of our positions in time, space, hierarchy, society, culture, the planet. In the long run, this heightened consciousness will result in change for the better-emotionally, socially, politically. "

Morning world!
