What Inspires You?

Beauty. Community. Art. Making a Difference.

Show me art in the streets, art on the sidewalks, art in your heart, and I am inspired. The ability to see beauty where others may not inspires me. Bringing a community together to create something new and lovely--like a sense of pride and belonging--inspires me.

Many years ago, I learned about how Rafael and Candice López energized their community to take a once gray and blighted neighborhood and embolden it with color and life. They made a difference. It inspired me so much, in fact, that I was determined to turn their story into a book that could inspire others.

More on that later... until then ... What inspires YOU?
