Thank you Sara lee for sharing yourself and your work with honesty, vulnerability and authenticity. “…inherent in us, innate, intrinsic in human beings when we hear another’s story, it’s like a rolodex plays, where’s that story of mine where I can connect with you…” YES. This totally resonated with me. I started a project years ago called The Memory Project in which community members share a significant memory. At the openings, I could overhear people showing and sharing others’ memories with one another…because we all have more things that connect us rather than divide us. On a side note I particularly loved your painting “What will the neighbors think” and also the two nest/tea cup paintings (already sold sadly) as I have used both of those in my own work. And Alyson, thank you again for both teasing out the different threads of meaning and intent of individual artists, then always connecting these back to a larger picture. Brava!

Beautiful talk Sara Lee! This cape is such a strong statement about what your Dad gave you, and how they nourished you. It resonates (and you know why!) with me. BTW, in the picture you have (almost) the same posture as in the picture behind you!
Alyson, Personal Narrative it is a great subject to address! I want to say that it is most of the time the case, but Sara Lee took it way way higher!
Thank you to both of you,
CLaire
