I just dropped off my piece, Whirlpool, to the lovely people at @crockerart for the #bignamessmallart show!

I actually dragged my husband to #volunteer at that event probably 15 years ago. I'm so honored to be included as an #artist #thistime.

The world is not what it seems when you hear it from Malcolm Gladwell. His podcast #revisionisthistory and his books like #blink, #outliers, #talkingtostrangers and others will bend the way you think about yourselfand others. One of my favorite podcast episodes is EPISODE 10 Analysis, Parapraxis, Elvis.

"Turn up the stereo
