Tonight is my showing night for The Quirky Show.
I know my work can fall into or under the genre of quirky and a little odd at times and I kind of love that. I guess there is an element of that in my nature too and why it tends to come out in my work. I have learnt to lean into it, work with it and find my own peace with it.
To find myself part of this show a few times, always feels a little like home to me and I was thrilled to be included in this year’s show especially for my little clay works. My Soul Bearers still continue to show up on my studio desk and still continue to hold me captive all these years in. They are little story tellers in their own right. From the dramatic tilt of their heads, to their knowing eyes and to their expressive hands…. there is always something going on when they gather together.

I find when I work day to day with them, they are little characters that come to life #inmystudio and keep me company in the weeks preparing for Auction. I definitely move into flow state rolling from one to the next. It’s actually a beautiful feeling. They are rather fascinating to work with because they are always a little weighted in my hands and have this sense of pulling down to the earth. Kind of grounding in many ways. They have such a Mother-Earthiness to them.
Thank you for journeying with me the weeks leading up to my day and for the love and support always. The private messages are like medicine for my soul.
Thank you, thank you, from my heart to yours, always, love Jeanne-Marie
Show begins 3pm ET - see you there.
