    I loved reading the story of Elizabeth Tashjian! She sounds like a gentle soul, maybe she had the right idea, I mean she made it to 94 without ever working a steady job! Way to go.

    I wish I resembled these beautiful artists but unfortunately I can’t get past being a paint splattered mess :)

    Fantastic photos! I love seeing artists at work and that they’re all awesome women on top of that makes this a total win.

    I’m always so astonished by sculpture and totally in awe of artists who can take lumps of clay or whatever and turn it into something beautiful. Every time I try to sculpt anything it turns out worse than a toddlers Play Doh figure, haha.
