Obsidian Gallery

During spring break I visited Tucson. I know I have already written about the Obsidian Gallery, but there is a new show. The gallery focuses on ceramics and they always seem to get amazing ceramic artists.

I always admire sculptures because I know how much time and energy go into making a three-dimensional portrait.

I love how soft and elegant these portraits are on a thin piece of slab.


These sculptures in person are amazing, the pictures do no justice to the artists incredible talent.

Miniature Museum

In Tucson there is a little treasure. The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures is so unique. When I was little I use to spend hours playing with my sister's and my dollhouses. My grandmother would make us furniture that fit perfectly in our dollhouses. Visiting this museum brought back many happy memories.

Look what I found at the museum. A mini pottery studio! I love it!

The artist who put this model together paid close attention to the scrap bin of clay, the potter's wheel and the tools.

If you are ever in Tucson check out the museum:)

I Heart Tucson

Matt and I ventured down to Tucson for a celebration of Matt's birthday and our anniversary. We both love Tucson and always have a great time. We visited a great gallery in the Tucson train station.Obsidian Gallery

The gallery has a nice layout. The remodel of the train station is amazing. They kept many of the old features: doors and windows. Tucson really knows how to restore old buildings. I love the tiny details of the past mixed with the present.

I love how playful Max's ceramic pieces are. They are fun creatures with bright colors. They always make me so happy to look at them. Check out his website Max Lehman's

Matt really enjoyed this ceramic artist. I was impressed with his craftsmanship. I like how his work looks intricate, mechanical and delicate. Gerard Ferrari

Goodbye Tucson, we love you!!!!! See you soon.
