​About Anna:
Printmaker, Painter, Artist
 
Do you collect handmade pottery?
"Yes, as much as I possibly can."
 
Why do you buy handmade pottery? 
"Art comes in many forms.  Some art hangs on the wall, some art is seen and heard, and some art is held in your hands.  Life it too short to not be able to enjoy art everyday, so why not buy and use handmade pottery?! As an artist I want to support my fellow artist.   Buying handmade pottery helps me to minimize the existence of “stuff” in my life.    Each piece has it story, purpose, and brings me joy in some way (ie. the color/pattern, texture, how fits in my hand, or the potter who create it).
For me using my handmade pottery everyday is a form of storytelling.  What character created it? How far did travel?  What kinds of adventures accompanied this plate, bowl, mug, etc? I love holding the bowl that its perfectly in my hand while eating breakfast and thinking back on who made it, how many different apt cupboards it has occupied, and the miracle it doesn’t have a chipped lip."
 
How did you acquire a Lisa York piece of pottery? 
"Lisa and I meet in Graduate School.  In the tradition of artists: we bartered.  I got ceramics and she got a print. Since then I have added to my Lisa York collection.  Lisa has a great eye for pattern and shape."
