Marguerite Continues to Affect Me. It has been almost 22 years since Marguerite passed away, and she is still affecting me. I think of her when I am working she encourages me to try something new, then to expand the idea... Are the forms good, the negative shapes working, the size shape relationships in proportion? Surface, marks, placement, there is so much to consider. And the minutest change can make a profound difference. Working and living with total consciousness was deeply impressed on me by her. She warned us to not concern ourselves with what others say about our work. Techniques, should not to be confused with creativity. All of these truisms guide me in my life and work. Marguerite encouraged my husband, Wayne Reynolds and I to buy a property where we could live, work, show and sell our pieces, so we would not be dependent on shops and galleries. She felt that was essential for continued creativity. Consequently we have our own place in Santa Rosa on Sonoma Hwy 12, Valley of the Moon Pottery, North Eagle Gallery. Thank you, Marguerite.
