Inspiration

Dear Artists, It’s time for us to gather. Enough waiting around. It’s time for us to gather — and open our hearts to each other’s stories —  to not be afraid of each other’s truth. When I witness the racist bigotry that accumulated in Charlottesville, I thought that we as humans are better than this.  This feels like a cancer – a disease. And I thought, yes we can gather too. We can pour our energy towards healing & building something new — channel our creativity towards elevating instead of oppressing — erect our prayer flags and be the light…

You probably can’t tell by looking at it, but I’ve been wearing the same painting apron for decades now.

It’s one of those chef aprons – sans pockets, knee length, and striped vertically.

This precious apron doesn’t just protect my jeans (or sometimes pajamas) from random paint splatters. It symbolizes something very important to me.
