Meet Ruby C. Williams, an amazing woman who is moving the world in her own special way.

Miss Ruby is a folk artist known for her cheerful spirit and brightly colored paintings. Her artwork is sold alongside a stand full of fruits and vegetables that she grows on her property in Bealsville, Florida.

"Her work is in private collections and galleries all over the world. But even today, she seems as interested in selling produce as she does in selling art." -folkvine.umbc.edu/ruby/home.html

Lucidity Festival: Part II

Lucidity Festival: Part I

So, I've packed up my bags and headed out to LA to intern for a lovely photographer, Joe Pugliese. If you don't know his work, you should. It's absolutely stunning. In California it's necessary to embrace the weird and wonderful...thank you Lucidity for taking me there. Fun times in Santa Barbara. "Lucidity is an open-source transformational arts and music festival. We call it open-source because we will be co-creating this festival experience with YOU! We invite you to come play with us, get involved with one of our six themed villages, bring art, lead a workshop, spark a spontaneous flash mob, embody a character from your dreams, be silly and wild and free! We are bringing together a world class lineup of musical talent and weaving them together with the sounds and vibrations of our beloved local stars. Our galleries will showcase the sickest fine art our region has to offer, promising to enrich the festival as a visual voyage. Art installations will pleasure participants with multi-sensory stimulation while themed environments will create intimate settings for personal connections. Lucidity’s environmental commitment is to leave Live Oak better than before." ~Lucidity Website
