The project was really a lot of fun and the women became very invested in the final product. I'm looking forward to the upcoming unveiling. Thank you so much Becca and Erin!

It's so rich and compelling. I think you have a real gift for guiding others in telling their stories visually. Makes me want to go back to school (to finish Fine Arts degree). :) Next time you need a volunteer, let me know. Ashley, what beautiful work. It’s so rich and compelling.

These women really have done an amazing job and it's an honor to work with them. Hopefully I'll see those of you who are in Louisville at the unveiling. You are all so sweet!

I’m blown over by the incredible talent the women have exhibited!! Way to go, program coordinator!!! Maybe we can talk about some type of collaboration with the Somali Bantu women of Americana Fiberworks (hint, hint)??? Looking at the pictures of the women in the process of creating their mural, I am reminded of how therapeutic the creation of art is…which makes me think I really do need to learn how to knit, or make jewelry (my new kick!!), or find some type of creative outlet… Anyway, just wanted to let you know that your first Open Doors project is a resounding success!

And getting art to the people who need it's healing powers the most is so crucial and you are doing it. It truly is our link to Spirit and while doing it...sometimes we are lucky enough to actually feel the Presence. You are such a Teacher and I love knowing you. I'm thankful for you and all that you are doing. Peace, Mille Fennig...you Dallas friend Sounds as if you have fallen into your niche with this project and by the way, that mural is stunning.

What a cool project, and what a beautiful piece, both aesthetically and spiritually. I especially love the poses each artist has chosen to shape her silhouette into. Ashley, this is incredible!
