I participate in TELEPHONE which connects 1,250+ artists across 62 Countries.I received a painting, which I used to inspire a poem, which is then sent to the next artist who may do a song, sculpture, dance, or some other medium. The collective exhibit will be unveiled in 9 weeks! Stay tuned! #poetry
