These past couple of year I have worked with juvenile girls in Toledo, Iowa creating artwork and speaking to them about who they are and what they would like to become. While doing that I learned from them and the experience not only in the home but through the drive to Toledo. I began to get transfixed by the beautiful landscape that this area of Iowa has and those hours of driving appeared in my artwork and still are showing their way through. As an artist trying to find her niche I would like to research the Iowa landscape and what it has to offer to me as a ceramic artist. The questions I have are how do I go about taking this route? Am I able to research this?
