Letter from the Editor summer 2017 Happy Summer! I’m writing this on June 30th and I cannot believe that tomorrow we will already be in July of 2017! My year so far has been packed, with travel and the arrival of my first grandchild! Inspiration is more plentiful than ever. Carving out the time to paint however remains a challenge! I’ve decided that’s okay for now. There’s a time to hold myself accountable to a minimum number of hours in the studio, but there’s also a time to allow the experiences of life to wash over me in what I know from past experience becomes such a beautiful renewal of creative energy in the long run. My wish for you this summer is that you would take the time to experience all that is beckoning you unreservedly. http://whereartlivesinspire.blogspot.com/2016/09/shared-from-ceo-of- where-art-lives.html -Kimberly Conrad Editor-in-Chief Owner, Where ART Lives Gallery & Magazine
