Wishes in Black & White, a book by Eileen Williams Sabry; Photography by Roya Movafegh Today Bob handed me this book that he published in 2000 while he was living in California. The author, Eileen Williams Sabry, was featured on an Oprah Winfrey TV Special to celebrate Martin Luther King Day on Monday, January 15, 2001.

It seems like such an important time in  our history to reintroduce this book to remind us that we...

It has two sections on Trump, hence the  subtitle, 2000 Years of Idiocy from Nero to Trump. I loved working on this book, designing the cover, formatting the interior... the works.

Bury, has to be one of the most delightful wonderful men I have ever met in person, and now this interview: http://harryjbury.com/harry-j-bury-video-discussion-with-nancy-nelson/ A priest starts out the video with these words: "It was the cleanest jail I was ever in, in Alexandria, VA." Yes, this priest has been in jail more than once, had a hood placed over his head and led to a jail, and so many other stories that are just not typical stories you hear from a catholic priest. I feel so honored to have a personal relationship with this man. I wrote...

 In 2012, I won “a big blue ribbon that said “Artist’s Choice” on a painting for our boardwalk along the Coquille River that I painted for The Year of The Dragon. One day as I was walking downtown, a woman I had never met before came up to me and said, “Oh, you are the artist who won the blue ribbon…” and I was taken aback for a minute. Someone defined me as an artist.  I had never put that label on myself before; I had never assumed an identity as an artist.         I look back...
