About Linda:
"I have made ceramics since 1979, and I love ceramics for the connection to others, old and young. I often compare the feeling that I have while making ceramic objects with the feeling of quiet anticipation that I get coming home after a long trip. Using things handmade connects me to that feeling and to the makers."
 
What Kind of art work do you Collect?
"I will collect most anything, functional to sculptural. I like to look at ceramics; I like to eat off of it; drink out of it; and look at it. I most often have purchased work to encourage someone I find making something wonderful and loving the process. I learned from my art supporting mother that having someone love your work enough to pay for it was the best encouragement.
   I also collect things of my own making, harbingers of a path I want to follow later when I get time."
 
Why do you buy handmade pottery?
"It makes doing the dishes so much more fun. More so, I appreciate the connection to the person who made the ceramics, and I enjoy recalling the moment that I encountered the ceramic object, decided to purchase it, or met the person who made it."
 
How did you acquire a Lisa York piece of pottery?
"I bought a Lisa York artwork at NOTSTOCK in Minot, North Dakota, because I was impressed with the serviceability of the work. Sturdy rims and handles, light weight and well designed. I also enjoyed meeting the artist and watching her work hard during the artist residency."
 
What’s your favorite part about the Lisa York piece of pottery you own? 
"I appreciate the honest, open nature of the ceramic glasses, which I knew I would enjoy using. They are not “fussed up” or gaudy, but quiet and earthy. The new bathroom glasses work great in my home."
