My
attraction to the Southwest began as a boy with my family's
subscription to Arizona Highways. It wasn't until the
early 1970s that I made my first trip to the Southwest
as an artist in the medium of photography to participate
in a photography workshop. It was held in Tucson where
I was privileged to study under Ansel Adams, Minor White,
Judy Dater, Jack Welpott, Frederick Summers and several
other famous photographers. I saw how different the colors,
terrain and the light of the Southwest were from my home
in New England. I've returned to see more of it whenever
I can.
I
saw pueblo pottery several times prior to becoming interested
in it. I thought it was nice but I never purchased. Then, on
a visit to Chimayo, New Mexico, I met Joseph Sisneros, director
of the Rancho de Chimayo Collection, who generously spent hours
explaining the devotion, the artistry, the endurance, and the
spirit of the pueblo potters who produce this beautiful art work.
As an artist, as a patron of the arts, and as person who loves
and respects Nature, I could not help but be captivated.
Today,
when I hold a piece of pueblo pottery in my home, I can
smell pinon and cedar smoldering; see a seemingly endless horizon
filled with turquoise skies and muted pastel colored hills; mesas
and canyons; and the crisp, dry morning air warming as the sun
begins to cast its light on the earth after a cool dessert night.
Holding this pottery reconnects us with Mother Earth and the
natural order. The stress and fear inherent to the world of men
and women in the 21st century seem to fade into the background.
It's a bit of magic and this pottery is the medium through which
Mother Earth and the human spirit become one.
Pueblo
pottery is created by people who stand closer to the Earth and
the natural way than most of us ever will. They have done so
for countless generations as once, long ago, all our ancestors
did also. It is the difference between 'taking' and 'receiving'
that distinguishes them from our society's usual approach to
the Earth and her bounty. That difference blesses them with an
incredible ability to discover such beauty in the most base element
of creation--- clay. Through this pottery we can share that blessing
and hopefully a better vision of the place we call home and our
connection to it. This belief is why I've chosen to present and
promote these wonderful creations. Most all those from whom I
purchase and those to whom I sell have found a spiritual link
to life, Mother Earth and the Creator through this pottery. I
honor that connection by conducting my gallery business with
honesty, integrity and fairness. I give my word and I keep it.

Grandfather,
Look at our brokeness.
We
know that in all creation
Only the human family
Has strayed from the Sacred Way.
We
know that we are the ones
Who are divided
And we must come back together
To walk in the Sacred Way.
Grandfather,
Sacred One,
Teach us love, compassion, and honor
That we may heal the earth
And heal each other.
