"Garden Of Secrets"

October-September

The secrets of the garden are revealed and concealed. With each seed that is planted a new idea is born. Inside each pod is the potential for a new beginning and the start of an unknown journey. As one bloom dies, it nourishes the next. A continuing cycle of rebirth. When I decided on the concept for the show titled “Garden of Secrets,” I matched my love of nature with my passion for creating art. The result was the birth of new ideas and the dissolution of some old ways of thinking. Nature shows us the necessity of creating space for the rise of new aspects of ourselves and the wisdom of letting go. Each piece in the show has its own unique story and also blends into the overarching story of a garden filled with secrets, dreams, surprises, wisdom, birth, death, decay, and transformation.

Liz McCombs was born in Colorado and continues to live and create art in her studio in Colorado Springs. Liz is an award winning artist and has been working with ceramics for over a decade. Her process begins by sculpting individual elements from a variety of materials; glazing, painting, antiquing, metal work and faux finishing techniques are then utilized for the finishing process. Her unique sculptures are then embellished with found objects and recycled elements. In her work, Liz uses her mixed media experience to create new things, recycle old, and develop pieces with a sense of history and past. Her work has a sense of humor, depth, and originality.
