Ideas for Safe and Well series

Part of the process of making art is thinking of what to say. I am taking a close look at what makes me feel well and asking if these things are shared with my fellow humans.

Good People

I thought about all those people in our lives who support us, teach us, entertain, heal, cook, share, help, and are ready to step up. They are Good People.

Adventure Abroad

In June I traveled overseas, and for twenty-five days was away from the safety and boring routines of home. The countries visited were Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary (cities - Zurich, Prague, Olomouc, Bratislava, Vienna, and Budapest). I was with my traveling cousin and the Gillette Chamber Singers.
