Susan I’m so inspired by your work! The work presented in the theme “Tilt” should be a campaign! The message is universal and your use of color makes it all so hopeful! Thank you! I really enjoyed the online Art show!!
Your work, Susan, speaks to the emotions we feel at this time. And to our shared humanity.
