Art & Short Stories … What could be better?
An image-filled book featuring the work of artist Janet Jaffke accompanied by short narrative stories from writer Laurie ShoulterKarall.
The game of catch is simple; anyone can play. Making art is the same but too many people feel intimidated by the very thought of being creative. Creativity is the doodle on a paper napkin, random beads strung on a piece of elastic, or a haiku written on a post-it note. The creative process for the two of them will continue as they delight in someone catching what they have thrown out there into the world.
