Last weekend I went to the Julie Saul Gallery to see some of Maira Kalmans work from her new book and MEET her! For me it was like meeting the most famous movie star ever, I was in heaven!!
There weren't too many people there so I got a bit over enthusiastic and talked a lot, maybe too much... But whoa, she is really lovely and kind. It made my week!
Her observations on life and her painting really speak to me. I found this interview with her on The Great Discontent, it's a fabulous read, she has a great story!
How great is this?
Amazing. She is a star and so are YOU!

Thank you Patricia! I could never compare to Maira but I'm happy for the encouragement!!!
DeleteHow exciting! She's my hero too, I love her work very much. I can understand how thrilled you must have been. I'm sure she loved your chat as well. Inspiring minds!
ReplyDeleteYes, I know she inspires so many! I hope I have an ounce of her creativity, it would still be great!! Have a happy holiday! Jen
DeleteLove this. Like you, I would think I'd met a most famous movie star. And, if I had met the two of you there together, it would have been over the top.
ReplyDeleteYou are very kind to even think of me as in her league but thank you!! Happy New year!!
