As Modernism Week 2018 begins Thursday, the Palm Springs Community is remembering the life of artist, Paul Bellardo.
He died in July of 2017 at the age of 92 but this week, his legacy is on display through his ceramic art, all made of a little clay, some water and an abundance of passion.
Those ingredients help artists at Silica Studios in Palm Springs, create their own masterpieces.
“And now, I’m trimming the bottoms and then I will decorate them with under glaze,” said Candis Good.
Her inspiration comes from Paul Bellardo who silently watches over his cherished pieces of art in the room next to where she sits sculpting her own pieces of art.
