Patricia's favorite way to recharge and recalibrate is to read or watch tales of misfits who find a way to make their piece of the world a better place.
Why is local art important?
As James Baldwin said, “The artist cannot and must not take anything for granted, but must drive to the heart of every answer and expose the question the answer hides.” Artists challenge us to look below the surface, to be more fully alive, to see what can be, not just what is. Art and artists can help us grow, both individually and together!
