The Year that was - Part II



Never imagined that I would be so fortunate.



And travel to Europe every year.





All ceramics by Gina


To paint ceramics at the Scuola d'Arte in Deruta, Umbria, Italy.

If you have always wanted to do something special, this might be the year for you...I hope that it is.

  1. I get a big goofy grin when I read this! You so deserve to do this. I can just see you there, in your element with like minded people painting away!....I don't envy the logistics of getting there though. :)

  3. Such rich montages, Gina. I really do see a book in your future. And I'm not just talking about all your gorgeous photographs — I think you have an interesting story to tell that would be an inspiration to others.

  4. Dear Theresa, I know what you mean...the logistics. It's a little easier now that we have a direct flight from Salt Lake to Paris. I know that is a long way from Deruta but taking time along the way and smelling the roses is a lot of fun.
    Happy New Year to you and yours. Gina

  6. Dear Mark, What a compliment! My story is really a very ordinary story...there are many stories like mine. What I do know is that I am so fortunate that my Parents decided to emigrate to the United States so that we could have a new beginning. I am so blessed and so grateful. A sincere wish for your happiness and good health for the coming year sent to you from a very cold Utah countryside. Gina

  8. Happy New Year, Gina! Yes, you are blessed with great talent, and it is wonderful to have that connection between your art and Europe I thank you for your comment about the cottage, and yes you can see the original if you scroll down on FaH to the pix of Gerberoy. We should do a workshop together in Italy! I love Umbria!
