I’m a feminist, and God knows I’m loyal to my sex, and you must remember that from my very early days, when this city was scarcely safe from buffaloes, I was in the struggle for equal rights for women. But when we paraded through the catcalls of men and when we chained ourselves to lampposts to try to get our equality — dear child, we didn’t foresee those female writers.

Art should be about connecting and giving. It provides a two-way connection between you and the viewer. I don’t care if some ‘director of something’ or ‘someone from the board of something’ loves my work. When the plumber walks off the street and says he loves it then you know you’re doing something right.

How do you make a photo shoot happen on a shoestring budget? Enthusiastic collaborators, a rolling rack from your first apartment, and a red Schoenhut toy piano, of course! 

We had our first (1st!) photo shoot on April 20, 2013. We’re glad we finally got it together and that we’re lucky enough to know some Very Talented People.
