Daily she strolls down the wood-chip path from her house to her newly built studio, past crafted figures perched on a fence. Hughes has no phone in her studio. Just as she does leading art and spirituality workshops, she sits with the clay in front of her and follows a form of meditation, prayer and body relaxation. She lets what comes come. Hughes draws out images from clay and presents them to the world as a gift from God.
Art comes through the body.
The body has a way of having another kind of window into what's happening inside. Completed figure at right.
