To The Women Before Me.

This is my family.
From right to left;  my mother Lydia , grandmother Rosine, Evi and Henry.
This picture was taken in Germany around 1942.
My grandfather was in a labor camp in Siberia. 
​
They were refugees.

Today is March 8th, International Women's Day. There is a call for women to strike. I respect every woman's decision to do with the day as she sees fit.

Me, I am working. Because the women above fought and worked to stay alive. I sit in this place of privilege because they worked. I have this business because they worked. They watch over me and guide me. I try to honor them everyday. Today I work. If they were alive, they would be working. 







​My red in solidarity is a pair of my mother's red shoes. She loved red shoes. This is one pair of five. 

​Pretty snazzy.

Lydia around 2007. 
Working at what she loved.
I bet she is wearing red shoes.
​
​Today I happily work, making art for people in love.
