Gardenia Inspiration

Blooming Inspiration

This ordinary spring morning while writing on my patio, the sweet, pungent aroma of my gardenia plant was nearly overwhelming. It is currently a huge, swelling mound of white blooms spilling their perfume across the patio and beyond. I love my gardenia plant and its sweet fragrance.  And, I love this potent season where new garden blooms seem to open hourly. What sweet fragrance do I spill upon this world, I wondered? And, am I awake to this new season of daring to simply and effortlessly allow my petals to unfold and bless this world?  The plants are never fearful of their blooming – unlike us – and yet as they do each and every spring we often neglect to allow them to truly inspire us to dare to open a new bloom of our own and sweep our world with a brand new fragrance. I hope your spring garden is radiant; spilling inspiration and encouragement to you for new, fearless blooming in your life. This very spring has never happened before – may you too bloom in ways you have never bloomed before.

Warmest Spring Blessings to each of you!

Highly Unique Purchase Opportunity

by

In December we moved our studio and while the new space is beautifully conductive to a creative flow, it is smaller. In an effort to conserve space, we have decided to offer the very limited number of Artist Proof pieces we hold on editions sold out years ago. We will continue to hold any Foundry Proofs we have in inventory to accommodate any future retrospective exhibits – such as the Tempe Center for the Arts exhibition we participated in last year. Artist Proofs appear identical in appearance for each of these pieces. Molds are broken when an edition sells out, insuring no additional future casting. This is the final opportunity to purchase one of these valued pieces (unless in years ahead we decide to offer any Foundry Proofs where available). Follow the links to read more about each piece including companion writing.  Call early for best opportunity to procure the piece of your choice or for additional information at 520.622.6377. These pieces will only be offered until sold and then no longer available – in some cases there are more than one available and other cases only one final piece available.

We are offering the following Artist Proofs for purchase at this time:

Gratitude – Edition of 54 Sold Out in 2007. Purchase price for artist proof is $4400
