In these uncertain times...

3/30/2020

 I was looking at the layers in this denim collagraph print yesterday and it reminded me that as people we are all very complex. We need to remind ourselves that each person is handling this difficult time in their own way. We need to give each other strength, encouragement and love to continue standing tall in the midst of uncertainty. .

Lately my prints are taking on new meaning for me, the places I saw everyday are no longer part of my daily routine. I miss the daily grind and grit of my beloved NYC. 

Like many, I have struggled with knowing what to say and post on social media. I’ve mainly posted things to help, be it links for kids art projects or other resources. During this challenging time when we feel isolated and alone, due to social distancing it is inherent that we keep in contact with loved ones, friends and colleagues in a socially responsible way. I have found using technology to communicate is helping. I miss the in person contact, but I know that we are #strongertogether .

As a child I was an avid Mr Rogers fan so I will leave one of my favorite quotes to end this post. .

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people helping.” -Fred Rogers

I hope you are healthy and safe, please know I am thinking of you. 💙

 In honor of International Women's Day March  8, 2020, The Women of Denim led by Lucie Gemser, owner of Sphynx along with Carved in Blue, Artistic Milliners, Sportswear International and Bluezone Munich organized the first event in NYC.

​Held at the showroom of Artistic Millners, I was pleased to attend and be a part of the conversation. The dynamic chat was moderated by Sabine Kuhnl of Sportswear International and Angela Valasquez of Rivet. Thank you to Sourcing Journal for quoting me in your article. 

And others shared how they are helping encourage the next generation of women. Courage and perseverance are qualities that denim artist and educator Holly Brown promotes in her classroom at an all-girls school in New York.
​

“What I try to instill is resilience and confidence—and it’s something that we really have to teach,” she said. “I don’t allow the words ‘I can’t’ in my classroom.” (Rivet March 13, 2020, written by Angela Valasquez)
