Art Show in Napa

Drove up to Napa early this morning to watch Julia and her fellow students present their final projects at the Oxbow School of the Arts. She gave a compelling explanation of the research and thought that went into her healing quilt, and was very articulate and composed. In heals (above) she is eye to eye with me.

Such a strong, lovely, talented young woman and has spent the fall among so many other impressive people from all over the world at her school. I talked with many of her friends and fellow students, all of whom also made impressive presentations about their projects.

One young woman from China told how she built two interlocking three-legged chairs to illustrate the relationship of siblings. As a person born during China's one-child policy, she has no siblings.

Others explored depression and mental illness among artists, body image issues, surveillance and AI, and many other substantive issues.

What a day!

Afterwards we went with friends to one of the Napa area's many great restaurants. A great day!
