"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life"
Pablo Picasso

When I am sitting at the pottery wheel or standing at the easel, I become so absorbed in the creative process that I lose track of time and space. I become so completely focused on the clay or the canvas that the mundane necessities of life--sleeping, cooking, Dr. Phil--just hang in the background and wait for me to call them up again when I have completed the artistic task at hand.
