Not very long ago I met a very charming and talented young woman. She wanted to learn how to paint ceramics in the Italian Renaissance style. You see, she is a very gifted potter. Her large, and difficult -to-throw vessels are as excellent as the finest work you see in Italy. And now, her Italian Maiolica is just as superb.
I have been painting in the Maiolica style for several years, having learned the art in Deruta, Italy. Cindy only needed a few lessons and she was on her way.
I am only giving you a few glimpses of Cindy's work, hoping to entice you to see her entire collection at the Lamplight Art Gallery in Bountiful, Utah, a bedroom community of Salt Lake City. Lucinda Ericksen's exhibit will be featured until the end of this October. All of the proceeds will go to a charitable foundation that Cindy and her husband founded many years ago in honor of a young man who died much too early. Not only is Cindy a very, very talented artist she is also a very compassionate person, a quality you will know about Cindy as soon as you meet her.
