KIRKUS Review: Form & Essence
KIRKUS: A valuable, transformative prescription for a life of greater truth.

Form & Essence
What we see on our screens eclipses what we know in our hearts. The labels we put on one another prevent us from building friendships across boundaries and beliefs. The metrics we use to claim progress in school or work leave little room for earnest commitment to joy and curiosity. There is a better path, one that balances Form with Essence, and leads to deeper Truth.

Art and Power
I’m totally obsessed with a book called Power Versus Force by David Hawkins.

Art and Money
I was asked to give a fundraising presentation to a young women’s professional organization once.

Art and Belonging
For the last fifteen years or so we’ve had a very special opportunity to build a totally new for-credit arts subject in schools across America.

Art and Transformation
I see it all the time. It’s actually one of the great joys of being involved in community-based art projects.

Art and Kindness
I’ll share two stories.

Art and Service
People frequently ask me how I built a successful arts organization.

Art and Connection
So it’s wiggly and imprecise. What a painting means to you will be different than what a painting means to me.
