I saw her site a 
few weeks ago after an open mic night… and was uber impressed with her painting talent and the way she uses a blog to further express herself and her art… and she’s right in front of me. Last night a found out she is an activist and loves to help others (I wonder how many foreign countries she’s been to).
here’s her blog: The Painting Activist
Very cool stuff.
It’s funny you picked my self portrait for this post. So many people at the conference have told me I need to redo do it. Apparently it doesn’t do me justice (flattering).
Jason, you’ve got to identify yourself. I can’t put a face with a name. I bet we’ve talking at length and now I’m embarrassed.
Ashley,
I like your self portrait. Looks a bit angry – or determined – just right for an activist.
