Living just north of Seattle, WA, we were (and continue to be) a family of five home during the COVID-19 pandemic. One day as I was hiding in the bathroom, I noticed that one of my sons had wiped his toothpaste-y mouth across my bath towel. I took a photo of the toothpaste-y towel and played with the image digitally until I uncovered that there is beauty everywhere if you look hard enough. And thus began my acceptance that “Life is Gross.” Have something gross you want made into art? Email me!
