"Growing up in Kansas meant seeing vast horizons on the way to Colorado or Oklahoma where my family lived. Each road trip came with vistas of color and subtle changes in the landscape. Living in other cities has changed my surroundings from time to time but one thing that has always been constant and that is I love to create. I have been a weaver, fabric maker, painter and I like to garden. Now I work with clay. I am influenced and drawn to anything that is colorful and quirky. This includes fabrics, folk art, animation, ancient pottery, and my children's drawings. In my world, for now, all roads lead to clay and the possibilities are endless." - Deborah Gendel
