The “COllage” exhibition at the Arvada Center in COlorado presented an opportunity to project all the images in my 2024 diary sequentially. (I love how visitors always look for their birthdays!) This wide-ranging show is on view through Nov 9. Grateful to be showing several series of my collages 🖤

Start small…
As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.
