Inspiration from the Godmother of community mosaics

One of the most inspiring women ever - and again I have to thank +Nancie Mills Pipgras  for introducing me to this wonderful artist - Lily Yeh. http://barefootartists.org/home/
I cry every time I hear her talk about her work in Rwanda.  She really is what I what call a true great artist of our time. 
No one can explain better the power of creativity to bring about healing and positive social change.

  1. You are so right about Lily Yeh, Carrie. Her conviction that art has the power to transform appears to transcend any obstacle. I am looking forward to seeing the movie that her son has made about her work. I keep thinking that there is a Nobel Prize in her future.

  2. I hope you are right - she fully deserves to win it.
