This one’s for the ladies in honor of Women’s Equality Day.

Think about the women who introduced you to your people.

Not the one you met once, the ones who kept showing up. Who said your name in a room before you’d earned it. Who made the second invitation happen after the first one felt like luck.

Most of what holds a community together isn’t visible until you go looking for it.

In 1912, eight years before the rest of the country caught up, Arizona women won the right to vote. The Arizona suffrage win passed by nearly two-thirds of the vote. The largest margin of any state suffrage win in the country, and it stunned the national suffrage movement, who’d barely campaigned there.

This didn’t happen in one moment, but door by door, through a summer of heat, one neighbor convincing the next. The win may have looked sudden from the outside. It wasn’t. It was built the way trust always is: person to person, long before anyone was counting.

The relationship building underneath the outcome, that’s the part we spend our time on.

We also want to recognize Sandra Day O’Connor, who grew up on a cattle ranch in Duncan, AZ and decided to pursue law. Armed with a law degree and the grit learned on her family’s cattle ranch she earned the respect of her peers to become the Arizona State Senate Majority Leader. And her leadership in that role ultimately earned her the seat on the United States Supreme Court as the first woman to serve at this level.

And to honor another champion we can’t not mention one Ms. Dolly Parton, rest in peace, who spent 60 years quietly building one of the most far reaching pieces of infrastructure in the country- a library that puts books in millions of kids, hands who might never know her name.

Plenty of women who taught us this aren’t pictured here. Friends, colleagues, collaborators, all the same story. This one’s for them too.

Now it’s your turn. Who introduced you to your people?

“Gloria Martinez-Granados is a Inter-disciplinary artist with a background in print making, photography, & fiber arts. She has spent the last 5 years building a body of work utilizing cross stitch, repurposed produce bags, and old photographs from the Bracero program.“

“El Tejido de la Memoria” is a solo exhibition by Gloria Martinez-Granados that opened at Earth Maker Gallery on Friday.

“El Tejido de la Memoria” is a collection of Gloria’s amazingly detailed work from the last few years. It will be the first time a majority of these pieces will be on exhibit in the same space before traveling to Mexico next year.”

We were lucky to get to speak with Gloria about her detailed process, the significance of the materials she uses, and the beautiful connections she makes along the way.

“Gloria bridges a diversity of technique, materials, narrative and personal connection to create beautiful elaborate works, in which some take up to 6months to complete one piece.“

“Earth Maker aims to fill a void in downtown Phoenix. The gallery is owned and operated by local O’odham artist Thomas “Breeze” Marcus. The landscape of galleries in Phoenix has shrunk over the years, with very little focus on Native Art, graffiti art, street art, muralism etc.

Subcultures and subgenres that go against the grain can provide powerful imagery and narratives which often get overlooked. Earth Maker aims to highlight and celebrate a variety of work that speaks loudly.”

The exhibition runs through September 26, 2026.

Earth Maker is open to the public on Saturdays 10am-4pm, and by appointment only Monday - Friday.

There’s a special place in my heart and psyche for mixed-media and sculpture work, and these two solo exhibits in Prescott are pure magic!

Left: Steven Brock’s vibrant show at the Art Hive with hanging tapestries, kinetic metal figures, and sculptural storytelling that pulls you right in. The gallery lighting is perfection, casting those long, dramatic shadows across the floor that make every piece feel alive and theatrical.

Right: Edie Dillon’s elegant installations at the Natural History Institute— delicate yet powerful sculptures on clean white pedestals, including that striking mixed-media box piece that stopped me in my tracks. Same beautiful light play, throwing bold shadows that add depth and mystery to every form.

Two very different voices, both speaking my language.

We had a beautiful final meeting for our book, Art & Fear, up at Taliesin West!
We got a special tour with history & preservation tidbits delivered by @_re_bar and got to ask questions about @erikalynnehanson 's pieces that are on display.

This book club is all about sharing our experiences with creativity and art and it's especially lucky when we get to do so in beautiful places. Safe to say we all left feeling inspired.

Thank you to everyone who made it to a meeting this round! We'll be working on our next reading and set of meetups soon. PALS 💛💛

EIGHTEEN YEARS of Practical Art 🧡

I am so proud of what we have built together over the last 18 years. I love this shop, I love the artists who share their work with us, I love the customers who value artisan made goods, and I love that I get to work with my sister and one of my best friends.

When words fail me I take photographs and make art, I have made a lot of art lately 🧡

Making these photo transfer collages in these vintage windows has helped me find my creativity again after a really painful year. I hope sharing them gives you a glimpse into the immense Love, Awe, and Gratitude I have for this community. We continue to show up and take care of each other. And I can’t wait to see how that continues to grow ✨

Cheers to 18!

Love Lisa
