Come ride bikes and make art with me this summer!
Snuck in a few pensive minutes in my @vashoncentergallery Adirondack chair before dropping it off last Friday. Local artists were asked to paint the chairs, which will be auctioned off in support of @vashoncenter.
New month, new prompts!
Sketchbook from last night's Earth Day Art Party hosted by @browercenter. Thank you to @amandaemachado0 @huarachesverdes @carlamariejewelry and @JoseBilingue for a powerful evening that left me with many thoughts swimming around in my brain.
“...while expressing gratitude seems innocent enough, it is a revolutionary idea. In a consumer society, contentment is a radical proposition. Recognizing abundance rather than scarcity undermines an economy that thrives by creating unmet desires. Gratitude cultivates an ethic or fullness, but the economy needs emotionless. The Thanksgiving Address reminds you that you already have everything you need. Gratitude doesn’t send you out shopping to find satisfaction; it comes as a gift rather than a commodity, subverting the foundation of the whole economy.”
