North Carolina Living Treasures

"You are not an artist simply because you paint or sculpt or make pots that cannot be used.  An artist is a poet in his or her own medium.  And when an artist produces a good piece, that work has mystery, an unsaid quality: it is alive."
-Toshiko Takaezu, Cermic Artist
