Regardless of who’s running and the outcomes, election seasons stress me out. This year, I harnessed that discomfort into Election Therapy, a collaborative art project designed to help people convert election-related stress into creative energy. Over the past months, we convened to collage, paint, draw and write, creating individual pieces that together form a vibrant version of the American Flag, a symbol of unity, shared purpose and love for our country.

Election Therapy will be on view in the Shift Gallery window December 5 - 28. 312 S. Washington Street, Seattle. More info
