"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Quarantine Prompt a Day <3 Through that Window

17 March 2020

Often we’re too busy to notice the view right in front of us. One of my students, when I asked about what they missed being away from home, softly described the view of the city at night from his bedroom window in what he called ‘the projects where I live.’ 

“At night,” he said, “the lights go on forever, and every light, I think, is a soul.” 

Make art about seeing the world through your window.

Restarting the Prompt a Day <3 Since We're Isolating…

14 March 2020 

Personal matters and responsibilities had grown to the point that I simply didn’t have the time or energy to keep up with my daily prompts. But now, I think we need art, and creativity, and beautiful distraction, more than ever. So 🙂 here we go again. Let’s start with the obvious. Take care of your beautiful selves ❤

Make art about feeling overwhelmed, about stopping to breathe in the midst of the onslaught, about caring for yourself in spite of the stress.

Weekly Plant-Based Love <3

For various health reasons (grrr cholesterol!),  I’m supposed to get at least a cup of oatmeal every day.  I like oatmeal, but cannot eat it every day. I am too easily food bored to do that 🙂 And because my diet is primarily plant-based, I’ve found this to be the easiest answer: Homemade Oat Milk!

Just some quick pics of this weekend’s Oat Milk Makin 🙂
