My Thoughts;

Getting the perspective of someone who uses writing as an art form, and critiques and curates art was insightful as it showed how many artists and exhibitions she works with. This means she gets an admirable look at lots of different things.

Her work about parenting, although does not resonate with me, I can imagine resonates with many artists and viewers and is a very important topic to cover. The way in which this is done (in a careful, attentive way) is very inspiring. I find work about many different perspectives from one group interesting.
