On a recent trip back east  to spend time with my husband’s side of the family we were stranded a day or two extra due to a rather imposing storm. Grounding all flights.

My lovely sister-in-law suggested we visit the Artisan Fair in a smallish Pennsylvania town. It was a wonderful small treasure trove of stalls on a very hot day, the smell of alluring Food Trucks selling equally saporous culinary delights with truffle oil. At the end of the street live music was playing on stage. This was a wonderful moment of Kismet and totally unexpected in so many ways.

Martha Rotten has an amazing and imaginative style. I could have bought one of everything. The wonderful sense of form and subject kept me charmed by everything she created. Touched with macabre ideas mixed with phrenology, religious icons and nature made everything unique.
