WHERE DO YOU CONTINUE TO FIND INSPIRATION?

I don’t have to work at it. I can tell you that. It’s just a continual thing. Even when I was painting I have always been inspired by nature. Some of my very earliest memories are connected with nature.

I have a special piece that I gave to my parents that I have put away to give to my granddaughter.

 

 

 

Alice Ballard Half PodCONSIDERING YOUR WORK, WHAT ONE WORD WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO DESCRIBE YOU ?

I think maybe nurturer. I’m nurturing all that is growing in my studio with clay. I nurture the kids at school. I nurture a garden.
