>> HI, I'M ASIA CIARAVINO.
TODAY WE'RE AT THE SAN

ANTONIO MUSEUM OF ART, I'M
SURROUNDED BY TAPESTRIES

INSPIRED BY PICASSO'S ICONIC
WORK.

RUDOLPH INVITED US TO SEE
THESE MASTERPIECES ON

DISPLAY HERE IN SAN ANTONIO.
>> THIS EXHIBITION IS REALLY

THE FIRST TIME THAT A SUITE
OF TAPESTRIES THAT WERE

DESIGNED BY PABLO PICASSO
AND CAN COMMISSIONED BY

NELSON ROCKEFELLER HAVE BEEN
SEEN BY A WIDE PUBLIC.

OVER THE COURSE OF 20 YEARS,
THE GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK WHO

WAS A GREAT LOVER OF PICASSO
AND GREAT ART PATRON

COMMISSIONED INTERPRETATIONS
OF SOME OF PICASSO'S MOST

ICONIC WORKS, TO BE MADE,
WOVEN BY A TEAM OF MASTER

WEAVEERS IN FRANCE, WITH THE
GOAL OF SHARING WITH THE

PUBLIC.
AND THIS EXHIBITION REALIZES

THAT DREAM THAT GOVERNOR
ROCKEFELLER HAD.

ALL OF THE TAPESTRIES YOU'LL
SEE HERE LIVE AT THE

ROCKEFELLER FAMILY HOME THAT
IS NOW A NATIONAL TRUST

PROPERTY IN NEW YORK ABOUT
AN HOUR NORTH OF NEW YORK

CITY.
AND THEY CAN BE SEEN THERE

ALONG WITH MANY OF THE REST
OF THE ROCKEFELLER FAMILY

COLLECTIONS, BUT THEY'VE
NEVER BEEN SEEN ON THIS SORT

OF SCALE IN A GRAND MUSEUM
SETTING LIKE SAN ANTONIO

MUSEUM OF ART WHERE YOU
REALLY GET THE CHANCE TO

APPRECIATE THEIR MON
MENTALITY AND VITALITY AND

IT'S BEEN QUITE EXCITING FOR
US AND FOR THE STAFF TO SEE

THESE TAPESTRIES IN NEW WAYS
.

THE EGGS BIGS IS ON VIEW
UNTIL MARCH 8, 2015.

WE HAVE A VARIETY OF GREAT
PROGRAMS FROM LECTURES,

FAMILY DAYS, ART MAKING
ACTIVITIES, WEAVING

DEMONSTRATIONS, ALL OF THIS
IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE,

AND WE OPEN YOU'LL COME IN
TO -- WE HOPE YOU'LL COME IN

PROGRAM.
NEXT A LITTLE ITALIAN

GLAMOUR.
MUSEUM OF NATURAL SCIENCE.

THEY CELEBRATED 130 YEARS OF
BOLD DESIGN BY FAMED JEWELRY

HOUSE BVLGARI.
>>.

>> I THINK THE STYLE OF
BVLGARI IS UNIQUE.

IT'S BOLD, IT'S POWERFUL, IT
HAS STYLE, AND YET IT'S VERY

WEARABLE.
>> THE EXHIBITION IS CALLED

BVLGARI, 130 YEARS OF
MASTERPIECES, BECAUSE IT'S

KIND OF A RETROSPECTIVE OF
THE HOUSE AND ALL THE

MAGNIFICENT PIECES THEY'VE
CREATED.

REALLY OVER THE COURSE OF
THE LAST 3 CENTURIES.

>> MAGAZINE ANY EXPENT
ITALIAN JEWELRY,.

>> REALLY BULL GAIR, IT WAS
FOUNDED IN 1884, BY BVLGARI,

A GREEK ESTABLISHED IN ROAMA
, FEELING IT WOULD BACK

MAJOR CITY AND IMMEDIATELY
SET UP HIS STORE.

HE FOUNDED THE FIRST STORE
AND STARTED TO SELL HIS OWN

CRAFTS.
AND THEN THE SECOND GEP

RATION, REAL JEWELRY
PRECIOUS MATERIALS, GOLD,

PLATINUM.
MIXING THEM WITH PRECIOUS

STONES, A LOT OF DIAMONDS,
RUBY AND SAPPHIRES.

EVENTUALLY, 16 70S WITH
STONES WITH YELLOW GOLD,

COMBINATION OF SEMI PRECIOUS
STONES, ALL THE THINGS THAT

IS BVLGARI.
>> THERE'S A LOT OF CRAFORTS

MANSHIP.
MANUAL TALENT.

START OBVIOUSLY WITH PUTTING
STONES TOGETHER AND TRYING

TO FIND A BEAUTIFUL UNIQUE
COMBINATION, AND THEN WHEN

YOU ARE CLEAR ON THE STONES
YOU WANT TO PUT TOGETHER,

YOU HAVE TO DESIGN A SETTING
AND THEN THE DESIGN IS

COMING TO THE PLACE AND THEN
AFTER YOU HAVE TO PRODUCE IT

.
FUSE GOLD, PLATINUM WHICH IS

VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE YOU
HAVE TO GO -- AND THEN

SETTING WHICH IS ONE OF THE
MOST -- BECAUSE ACCORDING

THE SETTING ABILITIES, THE
STONE WILL BE MORE GLORIFIED

.
JEWELRY OF THE STARS.

AND THE FACT IS THAT NO
OTHERS -- THE BVLGARI, WORN

BY STARS, THE VERY BEGINNING
, OFF MOVIES.

A LOT OF THE -- WITH MOVIES
OF THE 50S AND 60S.

MOST OF THEM, HOLLYWOOD COME
TO ROAMA, IN BETWEEN TWO

SHOOTINGS, WALKING THE
STREETS.

AND THEY'RE DISCOVERING A
BRAND WHICH AT THIS TIME WAS

NOT AS GLOBAL AND FAMOUS AS
NOWADAYS, FELL IN LOVE AND

WORD OF MOUTH SOON BECAME --.
>> OUR STYLE, I MEAN, FRENCH

SCHOOL OF JEWELRY, IS MUCH
BOLDER, MUCH STRONGER

BECAUSE ROAMA BIGGER.
WASN'T FULLY ROAMA LIKE I

THINK THERE'S A GREAT
SYNERGY BETWEEN THE TWO.

AND SCIENCES, DOWNSTAIRS,
THE ROAMA COLLECTION OF

MANUAL CRYSTALS, PUT
TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS, AND

IT'S A WAY FOR US ALSO TO
PAY TRIBUTE TO WHAT IS

PROVIDING US, WE TRY TO
GLORIFY AND GLORIFYING THEM

IN A WAY THAT THEY ARE NOT
SOLELY BUT AS WE CAN SEE ALL

AROUND.
>> WHAT I LOVE, A LOT OF

THEIR ICONIC DESIGNS START
WITH THE STONES FIRST.

SO THEIR COMMITMENT IS TO
THE QUALITY ANDRATOR OF THE

STONES.
>> I THINK PEOPLE ARE GOING

TO COME IN HERE AND NOT
GOING TO LEAVE.

IT'S JUST MIND BOGGLING THE
WAY IT'S DISPLAYED AND THE

AMOUNT OF JEWELS AND
EARRINGS AND BRACELETS.

I MEAN, I DON'T WANT TO
LEAVE.

>> WE ARE BACK WITH TAMI
KEGLEY.

I'VE MISSED YOU.
>> I'VE MISSED YOU.

>> HAPPY NEW YEAR.
TELL ME ABOUT ALL THINGS ART

IN JANUARY.
>> 2015.

GREGORY, LEANN, YOU NAME IT,

THEY'VE GOT IT. THEY'VE
INVITED THESE, AND I LOVE IT

WHEN THE BIG GUYS INVITE

THOSE THINGS THAT OUR LOCAL

THAT'S OUR PRESENT, OUR
FUTURE.

LONGER TERM, THERE'S GOING
TO BE SOME WORKS ON PAPER,

BY A DOZEN SAN ANTONIO
ARTISTS AND CALLED REGARD

REGARDING -- AND THESE ARE
TWHOORKS THEY'VE IN VIETD

THESE CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS
IN SAN ANTONIO TO DO.

THAT REFLECT ON THE WORK OF
ED.

THERE'S MAJOR PIECES IN THE
McNAY COLLECTION.

THE STANDARD STATION AND
THEN THE RECENTLY ACQUIRED

GO STATION.
THESE ARTISTS ARE DOING THAT

WORK.
IT'S REALLY EXCITING.

>> WHAT ELSE?
>> BEFORE THE END OF THE

MORKS GUADALUPE.
THE FIRST STAGE OF ARTIST

LAB.
THIS IS A TWO-YEAR PROJECT

THAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THE
FOUNDATION, THEY BROUGHT 6

ARTISTS.
AND THEY ARE COUNSELING THEM

ON WORKING WITH THEM TO
STRETCH THEIR HORIZONS AS

ARTISTS AND AS WELL AS THEIR
BUSINESS.

DIFFERENT MEDIUM, IT'S A TWO
-YEAR PROGRAM.

THE FIRST STAGE THROUGH THE
END OF THE MONTH, GO SEE IT,

GUADALUPE.
AWESOME.

THINGS ART.

THANK YOU, TAMLY KEGLEY.
>> THANK YOU, ASIA.

>> YOU CAN READ MORE FROM
TAM -- TAMI KEGLEY OR IN THE

ARTS AND CULTURE SECTION.
>> .

>> TO ADD YOUR EVENT, VISIT
KLRN.ORG/ARTS.

NEXT WE VISIT JARED BOW EN
IN BOSTON WHERE HE SPOKE

WITH FORMER U.S. SECRETARY
OF STATE ABOUT THE ART OF

DIPLOMACY AND HER UNIQUE
COLLECTION OF PINS.

>> AS UN AMBASSADOR, SHE
WASN'T ABOUT TO LET THE

IRAQIS CALLING HER A SERPENT
SLIDE.

>> MY INSTRUCTIONS WERE TO
MAKE SURE THE SANCTIONS

STAYED ON.
WHICH 'MEANT THAT I HAD TO

KEEP REPEATING ALL THE
TERRIBLE THINGS SADDAM HUGH

HAD DONE AND I SAID TERRIBLE
THINGS ABOUT HIM WHICH HE

DESERVES.
HE INVADED ANOTHER COUNTRY.

ULTIMATELY THERE WAS A POEM
THAT APPEARED IN THE PAPERS

IN BAGHDAD, COMPARING ME TO
MANY THINGS BUT AN UN

PARALLELED SERPENT.
AND I HAPPEN TO HAVE A SNAKE

PIN.
SO I WORE IT WHENEVER WE

WERE TALKING ABOUT IRAQ.
>> WITH ONE PIN, SHE BECAME

SECRETARY OF STATE,
DISCOVERED THE ACCESSORY

THAT WOULD HELP HER FASHION
A NEW ART OF DIPLOMACY.

SHE WORE FLOWERS,
BUTTERFLIES AND BALLOONS ON

THE GOOD DAYS SHE SAYS, AND
BUGS FOR THE BAD DAYS.

>> DID YOU FIND THAT IT WAS
CHANGING DYNAMICS AT ALL?

>> I THINK PART OF IT, AND I
THINK PEOPLE DON'T

UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH OF
DIPLOMACY IS REALLY PERSONAL

.
AND IT'S KIND OF AN OPENING

IN SOME WAYS, AND SOME WAYS
A CLOSING. IF YOU HAVE SOME

MESSAGE THAT YOU'RE
DELIVERING.

>> MORE THAN 200 OF HER NOW
HISTORIC PINS ARE ON VIEW OF

THE DAVIS MUSEUM AT HER ALMA
MATTER.

THE SHOW IS TITLED READ MY
PINS.

THE SAME COUNSEL SHE OFFERED
PRESS AND COLLEAGUES TRYING

TO INTERPRET HER DIPLOMATIC
STANCES.

WHEN CUBAN FIGHTER PILOT
SHOT DOWN TWO UNARMED

CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT, SHE WORE
A BLUE BIRD SADLY SAILING

DOWNWARD ASTINGING BEE WHEN
MEETING YASSER ARAFAT AND

HEAR NO EVIL, SPEAK NO EVIL,
SEE NO EVIL MONKEYS WITH

VLADIMIR PUTIN.
>> ONE OF THE TIMES IT

REALLY DID WORK WHEN I WORE
IT IN NORTH KOREA AND HAD MY

PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE
LEADER. AND STANDING NEXT

TO I'M WITH A HUGE AMERICAN
FLAG, I THINK IT WAS ITS OWN

MESSAGE.
>> AMONG HER MOST PRIZED

PINS, A SHATTERED GLASS
CEILING AND THIS FLOUR,

BELONGING TO A WOMAN WHO
PERISHED DURING HURRICANE

KATRINA.
IT WAS GIVEN TO HER BY THE

WOMAN'S SON.
HER FAVORITE IS THE CERAMIC

HEART, HER DAUGHTER MADE FOR
HER WHEN SHE WAS 5.

AND SHE'S ESPECIALLY FOND OF
THE EAGLE SHE PURCHASED AS

AN INDULGENCE FOR HER SWEAR
ING IN AS SECRETARY OF

STATE.
IT'S ONE OF FEW PIECES THAT

IS NOT COSTUME JEWELRY.
>> IT'S AN ANTIQUE PIN AND I

HADN'T NOTICED ABOUT HOW
DIFFICULT THE CLASP ON IT.

SO I'M THERE WITH ONE HAND
ON THE BIBLE AND ONE HAND

SWEARING ALLEGIANCE TO THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED

STATES AND I SEE THIS PIN
KIND OF FLAPPING AROUND.

AND I KNOW I SWORE
ALLEGIANCE BUT I WAS ALSO

WORRIED THAT IT WOULD FALL
ON THE BIBLE AND SCREW UP

THE WHOLE CEREMONY.
>> SHE SAYS SHE STRUGGLED

WITH THE ATTENTION HER PINS
ATTRACTED AND EVEN IN

ASSEMBLING THE EXHIBITION
AND ITS ACCOMPANYING BOOK.

AS THE FIRST FEMALE
SECRETARY OF STATE, SHE SAYS

, SHE WAS SELF-CONSCIOUS
ABOUT DISCUSSING HER JEWELRY

>> I DO THINK THERE ALWAYS
ARE QUESTIONS.

PEOPLE DON'T ASK BHEAN
THEY'RE WEARING.

BUT THERE REALLY WAS THIS
ISSUE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW

LONG THE SKIRT, AND RICE HAD
BOOTS ON AND PEOPLE WONDER

WHAT HAD THAT MEANT.
THERE ALWAYS ARE QUESTIONS.

>> BUT IN THE YEARS HER PINS
HAVE THOUSAND BEEN TRAVELING

THE COUNTRY, SHE HAS BEEN
STRUCK BY HOW THEY'VE BECOME

GEMS FOR TEACHING DIPLOMACY.
SHE CONTINUES TO COLLECT.

THE ONES SHE WORE FOR OUR
INTERVIEW WERE FOR THE

COLLEGE AND GLOBAL AFFAIRS
INSTITUTE FOUNDED IN HER

NAME AND YES, SHE DOES MISS
THEM.

>> THEY'RE SPECIAL AND HAVE
GREAT FOREIGN POLICY STORIES

AND VERY GREAT MEMORIES WITH
THEM BUT I'M GLAD TO SHARE

THEM AND I OF COURSE HAVE
STARTED A NEW COLLECTION AND

PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN ME PINS
AND I CALL THEM MY PITY PINS

BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL SORRY.
>> THEY SHOULDN'T.

BECAUSE SHE LEAVES US WITH A
MOST DECORATED HISTORY.

>> NEXT UP, WE VISIT A
UNIQUE GALLERY IN DAYTON,

OHIO USING UNIVERSAL
LANGUAGE OF ART TO PROMOTE

WORLD PEACE.
>> SHOAM WHERE YOU ARE.

SO MY HOME NOW IS HERE.
BUT I COME FROM RWANDA.

I CAME HERE BECAUSE OF THE
GENOCIDE AND MASSACRE.

SO I WAS LOOKING FOR A
PEACEFUL PLACE TO BE AND I

FOUND MY PEACE.
SO THIS IS MY HOME.

>> I AM STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW
AS A CAUCASIAN WOMAN WITH

WHITE PRIVILEGE.
AND I HAVE BECOME SO INVEST

ED IN THE IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITY SO WHEN I'M TREAT

ED DIFFERENTLY AS A
WHITE WOMAN, I FEEL SICK

INSIDE.
>> PEACE IS A STATE OF MIND.

SOMETIMES WE JUST CANNOT
CONTROL THE VIOLENCE AROUND

US, THE ANGER, THE UN
DESIRABLE THINGS.

BUT THE WAY WE REACT TO THEM
, THAT'S WHAT PEACE

COMES.
>> THREE WOMEN, THREE

CULTURES.
THREE VERY DIFFERENT LIFE

EXPERIENCES.
>> THERE IS BUT ONE GOAL.

TO EXPLORE ISSUES OF PEACE
THROUGH ART.

>> ART ALLOWS YOU TO BE A
CHANGE AGENT BECAUSE YOU'RE

PUTTING YOUR EMOTIONS INTO
TANGIBLE THINGS.

AND PUTTING IT INTO THE
WORLD.

I HAVE STARTED AN
ORGANIZATION CALLED THE

COMPASSION AREA, AND WE'RE
FOCUSED ON PROJECTS THAT

WILL BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.
THE DIVERSITY OF OUR

COMMUNITY, AND THE NEEDS OF
OUR COMMUNITY COME TOGETHER.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
I'M ADAMANT ABOUT IS ART

SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP BREAK
THE PARTITIONS.

ONCE YOU PUT A BARRIER
BETWEEN TWO COUNTRIES, OR

TWO CULTURES, WHETHER IT'S A
REAL BARRIER OR INVISIBLE

ONE, IT'S REALLY DIFFICULT
TO BREAK IT.

SO THAT'S WHERE ART COMES.
IT REALLY HELPS IN WIFN

PICTURE TO DEPICT THE OTHER
SIDE.

IT MAKES US SEE WHAT OTHER
PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING.

ONCE YOU SEE A PICTURE, THAT
IMAGE IS WITH YOU.

IT'S NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.
WHAT IS PEACE, WHAT IS THAT

SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.
AND IT DEPENDS UPON ITS

ARTIST.
AND I'M VERY AGAINST TELLING

AN ARTIST, THIS IS A PEACE
GALLERY AND THIS IS WHAT

PEACE IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK
LIKE.

>> IN DAYTON, A LITTLE KNOWN
ART GALLERY, THE MISSING

PIECE ART SPACE.
AN ARTIST DREAMED OF OWNING

HER OWN GALLERY AND STUDIO.
WHILE WORKING WITH

INTERNATIONAL RED CROSS IN
EUROPE, SHE WAS ASKED TO

ORGANIZE AN EXHIBITION TO
BENEFIT CHILDREN IN ESTONIA.

WITH ELBOW GREASE AND VISION
CREATED A SPACE FOR THE

EXHIBITION WHICH WENT ON TO
BECOME THE MISSING PIECE ART

SPACE.
>> ART IS A UNIVERSAL

LANGUAGE.
WE DON'T HAVE TO KNOW

EVERYBODY ELSE, WE JUST AS
LONG AS WE CAN DEPICT

EMOTIONS, IN A CANVAS.
BECAUSE IT CAN CREATE

EMPATHY.
AND TO ME THAT'S THE TRIGGER

THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE CAN
COMMUNICATE.

NOT TO MENTION THAT IT'S A
WAY TO EXPLORE OUR OWN

FEELINGS AND ISSUES THAT ARE
BOTHERING US SO THAT OTHER

PEOPLE CAN LEARN AND SEE
WHERE WE COME FROM.

>> GABRIELLA AND JEAN ARE
FOSTERING EMPATHY IN DAYTON

'S COMMUNITY, WHICH
INCLUDES A PARADE AND DIS

PLAY OF ALTARS AT MISSING
PIECE ART SPACE.

>> IT'S WHIMSICAL, JOYFUL,
IT ACTUALLY TAKES THE MOTHER

ED BY OUT OF DEATH.
AND MAKES IT STRANGELY

PALATABLE.
NOT EVERYBODY CAN EMBRACE

MEXICAN ART AND THE NOTION
OF THE DAY OF THE DEAD.

BECAUSE WE SEE DEATH AS A
CELL BRAIFTION LIFE.

>> WE ALL HAVE LOVED ONES,
WE'VE ALL HAD LOVED ONES

PASS.
AND WE ALL HAVE THAT MEMORY,

AND TO BE ABLE TO COME
TOGETHER AND CELEBRATE

THROUGH THIS TRADITION IS
MAGNIFICENT.

SO I CREATED A ALTAR FOR MY
DAD THIS LAST YEAR, AND IT

WAS ABOUT ART CREATING AND
IT WAS ABOUT FINDING WAYS

THAT I COULD SPEAK TO MY
MEMORY OF MY DAD, IN A

LOVING, HONEST WAY.
I RESOLVEED THINGS THROUGH

THAT PROCESS THAT I DIDN'T
KNOW I HAD UNRESOLVED.

>> IN ADDITION TO CURE
RATING THE MISSING PIECE ART

SPACE, AND ORGANIZING
DAYTON'S DAY OF THE DEAD

EVENT, GABRIELLA HAS BECOME
THE VOICE FOR IMMIGRANT

REFORM IN DAYTON.
IT BEGAN WITH A KNOCK ON THE

DOOR.
>> I STARTED WORKING WITH

REFUGEES FROM CENTRAL AFRICA
LITERALLY CAME TO THE

GALLERY ASKING FOR SUMMER
CAMPS FOR THE KIDS AND

THAT'S HOW I STARTED WORKING
WITH THEM.

JUST AMAZING PERSON.
INCIDENTALLY IN WHAT SHE'S

DOING AND THAT'S WHY WE
PARTNER WITH HER.

>> WE HAVE MANY -- MANY KIDS
WITHOUT PARENTS.

THEY NEED FOOD, CLOAGING.
SOME WE GIVE WE PAY FOR THE

MATERIALS, AND OTHERS WE PAY
FOR LIKE LUNCH FOR THE WHOLE

YEAR.
AND THEN THERE -- THEY WILL

BE ABLE TO GO TO SCHOOL AND
LEARN BECAUSE AS WE SAY,

HUNGRY SO MUCH DOESN'T HELP.
>> BECAUSE OF MISSING PIECE

ARTIST SPACE, SHE HAS
IMPROVED ART SKILLS AND

HELPED MORE CHILDREN.
IN ADDITION TO SELLING HER

OWN JEWELRY, SHE BUYS ITEMS
FROM ARTISANS AND ORPHANS

BACK HOME, SELLS THEM HERE,
AND SENDS THE MONEY BACK TO

PAY FOR THEIR SCHOOL FEES.
>> THAT LADY, THAT WOMAN,

CHILD IS DOING THE ARTS LIKE
MAYBE SOWING OR WEAVING.

OTHER PEOPLE IN THE SAME
CONDITIONS, THEY TALK, THEY

LIVE, THEY HAVE THAT SMILE.
SO ITS -- IT GETS THEM

LEAVE, POSITIVELY.
AS I SAID, PEACE, I

UNDERSTAND THAT. THAT'S
YOUR HEART, YOUR MIND.

SO IT GIVES THEM PEACE BY
SOWING, DOING THAT.

>> YOU CAN SIT WITH A PILE
OF MATERIALS AND BEGIN TO

USE YOUR OWN MEMORIES TO
CREATE SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE

ELSE TO SEE.
THERE'S A POWER IN THAT

EXPRESSION THAT IS BEYOND
WORDS.

I THINK ALSO IN A COMMUNITY
WHERE WE HAVE SO MANY

LANGUAGES, WHATEVER YOU
CHOOSE TO USE, TO CREATE

SOMETHING THAT SOMEHOW IS
GOING TO EXPRESS A DEEPER

SET OF FEELINGS, AND BELIEFS
AND EXPERIENCES, THEN WE CAN

BUILD EMPATHY BETWEEN EACH
OTHER BY SLAIRG THAT ART.

>> WHEN I HELP SOMEBODY PUT
A SMILE ON THEIR FACE, I'M

SO HAPPY.
THAT'S MY BIG JOY.

>> I DON'T EXPECT PEOPLE TO
COME IN HERE AND GO OUTSIDE

THE DOOR, YOU KNOW, WITH A
TOTALLY DIFFERENT

PERSPECTIVE OF LIFE, BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO JUST IN STILL

A LITTLE SEED, FOR THEM TO
QUESTION THEIR OWN PERSONAL

BELIEF.
WITH THE HOPE THAT MAYBE

WEIGH KNOW AS A NORM NOT
NECESSARILY TRUE.

>> ARE MY -- MY ART SEGMENT,
FOCUSES ON AN ARTIST WHOSE

JOB TO INTRODUCE AUDIENCES
TO TOP ARTISTS AND EMERGING

TALENT.
OFFERS STUDIO VISITS THAT

ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO MEET
WITH ARTISTS.

DONNA IS AN ACCOMPLISHED
ARTIST AND POSTED ON HER

WEBSITE. PAINTINGS INCLUDE
EARLY WORKS LIKE THIS ONE.

CREATED IN MEMORY OF HER
FATHER.

>> A 9/11 SERIES SHE CREATED
WHILE WATCHING THE EVENT

THAT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.

AND ASPEN SERIES PRESENT
VISION OF EVERYTHING FROM

PALM TREES TO ASPEN TREE
TRUNKS.
