Hello, friends. I’ve got some press happening this month that I’d like to share with you. I was privileged to be interviewed about my Groundbreaking Girls project and how it helped me navigate grief. The writer, Lindsey Linegar, who I knew just barely at the time, has since become a good friend. Here is article in the San Clemente Lifestyle magazine. Thank you for taking the time to read it. (More great writing on Lindsey’s website too, if you are looking for a writer, I recommend her.)
I also have this video to share. In the early months of my project, a beautiful person named Linda Parsi, whom I met on Facebook, contacted me with interest in sharing my story through video. She then connected me with a wonderful filmmaker named Kevin Strickland. He asked great questions and understood what I was trying to convey with my painting. It’s such a gift to work with people like that, very validating for an artist. And you know how important that is for us! 😛 Linda, too, has become a great friend over the course of the year. It’s fun to see the video after filming it in the spring. It feels like a long time ago, because the project has changed me even since then…and I’m still working on it. Again, thanks for taking the time to watch it. Please feel free to share it with someone you think would be encouraged.
Also, thank you to everyone who came to the art show and the workshop last weekend. It was great to connect.

What a beautiful video – thank you for sharing with us on your site as well as now sharing with the world. I’m sure the Lord is using you to help someone else going through their grief. And also to encourage all GIRLS – how wonderful! We need more positive things like this in our world. Thank you dear Allison!
