Happy New Year and what is there to be happy about?

As we move forward in this new year, I am thankful for family, friends and that I live in California.  There are many challenges in the days, weeks and months ahead and I feel confident that we are up to the task.  Activism and advocacy are becoming increasingly important to me and I ponder ways to make art that positively addresses my concerns for our nation.

In the meantime I will continue by throwback tour of art in the Obama years.  These are from the 2009 Quilt Week Yokohama exhibit about Journey of Hope.
