If you ever worry about getting older, think again!
The Mama of Dada proves that age and beauty and wit have no limits.
She lived a full life, not only she fulfilled her dreams but she found serenity and
love in her work. She expressed herself with a true sense of style and
she was never afraid to experiment. She has a deep sense of humor and
an ironic view of the world.
Among her friends were the most prominent artists of the Dada movement.
If I will be blessed to live up to a 100 years old this is how I imagine myself.

I simply adore her work.
I decided to take ceramic lessons and Raku classes few years back
because of her.
I am planning also a trip to Ojay this summer to visit her Museum
