Keep thinking today about how, because I write about art, I've paid literally thousands of dollars in image permission fees for the multiple books & articles by me that appear in the LibGen database - and how these tech companies then turned around and used my work for no compensation whatsoever
Meta used at least 16 of my books, and numerous articles, to help train the AI it will use to make billions.

Business Insider asked me to write about packing to evacuate, how in that terrifying moment, all that mattered was finding the pictures of my birth mother. She died 29 years ago today, and today, they published the essay. Can't think of a better way to honor her than sharing this story. #LosAngeles

A breathtaking example of the art created by Ella Frances Sanders in her book "Lost in Translation: An Illustrated Catalog of Beautiful Untranslatable Words from Around the World"
This book seeks to bring words from other languages into English, accompanied by her art.

Art Therapy: A Journey to Healing and Self-Discovery by Nicole Rademacher
In my studio, surrounded by an eclectic array of materials—paper scraps for collage, archival photographs, found objects—I often reflect on the transformative journeys I've witnessed in my clients. As both an interdisciplinary socially-engaged artist and art therapist, my approach to healing through art emerged from my own creative process of exploring identity and belonging as a reunited Latine adoptee.Art therapy offers a unique path to healing, especially for adults navigating questions of id
