DARA MINA CERAMICS

He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist. -St. Francis of Assisi... Inspiration for my artwork comes from the beauty of the natural world, particularly the woodlands of my childhood home. I remember the joy of making mud pies in my backyard near the stream, where I also looked for salamanders under the rocks, and collected wildflowers. Butterflies, birds, fruits, flowers and insects are recurring motifs in my work.
