TWO VIEWS OF SHARON GRACE
|
|
Sharon Grace, c. 1970
"I was immediately taken by her intelligence, sensitivity, experience, and beauty. Sharon was an art-pioneer, exploring and working at the intersection of art and technology. This was even more of an achievement given that she was a woman in a mostly male-dominated world, especially at that time."
------Kathy Brew
Sharon Grace's last day of teaching
"I was always struck by how much she lived in The Future and seemed largely inconvenienced by present reality. She couldn’t wait for the future to come and did her best to make it happen."
------Dale Hoyt

Likely the dominant sentiment of 2021, languishing is like treading water in a joyless cocktail of apathy. Naming the sentiment brings it to our forefront, allowing us to diagnose and treat it. So how do we get from languishing to flourishing? One antidote: get into states of flow, uninterrupted time periods focusing on something that's meaningful. Log off of Facebook and make some art.
Coming up on Saturday, July 10th at 10am PDT is the next global alumni meetup From Languishing To Flourishing hosted by New York, New Jersey and Connecticut Liaison Don Daedalus.
