    I got a real chuckle out of Ive's comments. I too get besieged with
    queries about my keum boo, reticulation, and especially my enamels.
    Therefore my artist's statement." consists solely of historical and
    technical explanations of my work, and why I chose to  utilize those
    techniques. 

    It is very gratifying to find that many customers are really
    interested in these matters. I get a lot of questions as to how I
    made  a particular piece, and am always glad to explain. In fact, one
    of my best customers is a woman who queries me  in detail about my
    work, and takes notes about the pieces she purchases. 

    So, to sum up. There are "artist's statements," and" artist's
    statements," and the one that works best for  me is one that educates
    the public about what I do.
