I created the artwork and wrote the thoughts below for the project. Gregg Chadwick A Resilient Light 24"x18" oil on linen 2018 A Resilient Light (The Perception Project) Chelsea’s life story inspired me to paint A Resilient Light .  With her therapist present, we engaged in a rich discussion that outlined the challenges she has overcome and the path she has laid out for her journey. As Chelsea spoke, I pictured a long stairway with one end in the past and the summit in the future. In my mind, I saw Chelsea at different stages along this stairway.  Maybe hes...

On #TransDayOfRemembrance , we look back on the underreported role transwomen played in the #Stonewall riots of 1969, predated by a little-known uprising at a San Francisco cafeteria. #TDOR

Dave Eggers Speaks with @BarackObama at the Obama Foundation Summit -LIVE https:// youtu.be/rrRnvJNwydE   via @YouTube

by Gregg Chadwick For the first time in two years, I had a deeply restful sleep last night. After watching anti-union and anti-education Scott Walker fall to Tony Evers in Wisconsin and viewing Harley Rouda's lead over Russian stooge Dana Rohrabacher in CA  48, I felt hopeful. My painting The Future Is Woke no longer felt aspirational  - we did it!

His  album announcement  is accompanied by a first taste of his  Broadway  recording: an acoustic version of his train metaphor song "Land of Hope and Dreams."  Lauren Onkey writes about the song on  NPR Music : "Land of Hope and Dreams" is the penultimate song of the Broadway show, an uplifting end to a night that features a lot of heartbreaking stories of characters — including Springsteen himself — who fall into isolation. Rooted in the gospel song "This Train" and The Impressions' 1965 gospel-soul hit "People Get Ready," "Land of Hope and Dreams" imagines a communal train where all are welcome — saints, sinners, whores, gamblers, thieves, lost souls, fools, kings, the brokenh...
