Sometimes doing the right thing really is the right thing to do. A representative from Porchlight, with their latest housing development in Madison providing permanent studio apartments—with kitchens and bathrooms—for low-income single adults, reached out to me. For many residents, this isn’t just a new address; it’s a fresh start after some very hard seasons of life. Porchlight opened this facility in December and the 8-story building is beautiful—but the walls were bare. Today, I had the privilege of hanging nine of my pieces there. Like the residents, each work carries its own story. And like the residents, each piece now has a place to belong. Art doesn’t solve everything—but it can offer dignity, beauty, and a quiet reminder that everyone deserves a space that feels like home. What can I say… today was a good day. Special thanks to Executive Director Karla Thennes for the invitation and for the compassionate work she and her team do every day.
