Daily #20208

When I was a young, I did not think that there were very many LDS artists.  I thought that all LDS adults were professors or business-people.    So I learned to supress my artistic nature as not to "rock the boat".  So when I discovered that there were LDS artists,  people that I could identify with .... I was floored.  The other chapter to my birth as an artist happened in Spring City, Utah  were I met with Joe the Potter.  He is a LDS artist who just happens to be some what of a hippie. He farms and owns a little studio in the middle of no-where Utah.   I just happened on his open studio one day.  I was just planning to buy a small pot for my mom and instead I met and talked to Joe the Potter on being LDS and an artist.  So cheers to Joe the Potter and all the other artist that are amazing examples of being true to yourself and what your talents are.  Here are a couple of others that I love.
