Diane Boer-Henke #14 on the 2019 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 11-13th

I have been working with clay on and off for 35 years…

I am inspired by life and the faces of people I have met. Faces are like a map that can illustrate our experiences and emotion. I am wonderfully intrigued by the lines etched by time on each of us dwelling on this earth.

I welcome you to visit my studio and see what emerges from the clay….
