Experiencing a wee bit of cranky personal turbulence these days.
What does a smart and creative gal do in that situation?
WE MAKE ART, PEOPLE!!!
Art that expresses our dismay, our disappointment, and our resolve. And lets the world know what we’re feeling. Because we figure if we are, someone else probably is, too. And we’d do better if we buck up together.
