Dear Friends and Art Lovers,
As 2022 comes to a close, I am reflecting with gratitude on the many wonderful new experiences this year brought, including my first solo museum exhibition, a multi-city public artivism initiative, and much more. But I am also reflecting further back — to my grandparents who escaped the pogroms in Lithuania, and to my parents who also fled from hate and fought for justice in new and foreign lands.
My studio work this year has made it clear to me that these multigenerational memories have deep roots that reach to my core and move me to act. I am working each day to learn the historical lessons I embody and to use the gift of more days to bend the arc of justice. I do this through my artwork as well as by supporting high impact organizations like those listed below.
I wish you all a light and bright holiday season and hope you also find some quiet moments to reflect this year and to take action so that all who are oppressed may breathe free. Amen.
Caron
