PLACEHOLDER FOR NEWS

Gary Freeman, "105 Diana Alva", Essay'd, July 25, 2018. "Alva grew up to combine her love of the earth with gardening, pushing and pulling the soil to form beds for her flowers, herbs and vegetables. It is the same organic pushing and pulling process she carries over into her pottery and painting technique: start with a basic idea, outline it with bold line work, refine and massage it as if creating a story or conversing with the pottery or painting in progress, then finish it with a full measure of life-giving color."
