My desire is to discover and share the essence of what it is about a person, place, or thing that arrests my attention. It’s a great mystery how to do this using mere pigment on a flat surface.”

February 2017, Issue #31
February often seems like one of those months where nothing ever happens and there is not anything to look forward to until the crocus’ break through the snow. The holidays are over and we are well into the new year, but spring is not quite within our reach just yet. What color is it outside? Gray. What color was it yesterday? Gray. Sigh. But, I am reminded that there are, in fact, several things to look forward to this month: Groundhog Day (we are hoping Punxsutawney Phil will tell us that Spring is on its way,) President’s Day, Black History Month, Lincoln's Birthday, and “Tell a Fairy Tale Day” on February 26th. I like that one! And, of course, let us not forget Valentine’s Day. We have incorporated stories and visuals throughout this issue paying homage to Valentine’s Day and stories of love and its importance in our lives. It is not a greeting card holiday if you celebrate it wildly, and with passion. These days we need to stop, remember, and appreciate the loved ones in our lives. If 2016 taught me anything- it was that. ~Jennifer Criss
