When I was a ceramic artist a long time ago, my top selling work was always about animals in one way or another. I did a series for quite a few years on mimbres found in the southwest deserts. They were fantastic animals that fluxed between reality, imagination and a connection of the heart that inspired cultural ties. I sold most of them to the Palm Springs Desert Museum in Palm Springs, CA which had just opened at the time.
So here I am much later in life going back thousands of years to seek animal inspirations again. This time, the Celts peaked my interest as I have been studying their art for a while now. They mastered the field of design in jewelry, stitching, carving, metal work of any kind. so playing in PS I am trying my hand at exploring new colors for me and the influence of living in Mexico has given me hootspa (sp?) to go vivid. I think this is a step up from the little pen and ink sketch done with magic marker on watercolor paper, from where it started out.
