So much colour! Like Jeannie, I find that so symbolic and beautiful. Thank you for sharing Pacita's art with us. And I so agree with you, Imola. We need MORE artists.

Imola, I do not have some visual artwork to share here, but what I want to say is thank you for sharing Pacita Abad's work (I have never heard of her art, either), and what struck me most was that she brought COLOR to the world. That is so symbolic in so many ways. I mean, what would the world be without color? And think of all the colors each human represents or even is--what a delight! What a wonder! We need color. We need vibrancy. We need zest in this world. I think I will ponder that for quite some time.

Oh, I’m so glad Jeannie. I was in tears in that exhibition and my heart felt like it was going to burst with all the beauty and colour! I wrote more about her but Substack issued a warning that my post was getting too long… :) yes, we all need colour, vibrancy and hope! I completely fell in love with Pacita Abad’s work, but also smile! What an inspiring artist.
