“A place of one’s own – where one can be alone – is essential. And that place, however small and humble or large and spacious, should be made one’s very own in the fullest sense of the phrase. That means not only should it be sacred to one’s self, but it should be used as an expression of one’s personality… It is no small pleasure, bit by bit, to make the room, by well-thought-out additions, more efficient, more comfortable, more native to one’s self, until it exactly expresses what one is and what one wants to do there, and reaches the acme of usefulness, beauty, and pleasure for its occupant. For just as the fish must have its water, and the bird its air, so you and I must have the immediate environment native to us for comfort, pleasure, and harmonious self-development.” – C.G.L. Du Cann, Teach Yourself to Live, 1955

Her art and her projects inspire me and make me want to do something to create change.

This is an old abandoned building in her neighborhood before she got her hands on it.
This is the building after. I LOVE this so so much.
I wish I could be this cool.
Check her website out. She's inspiring, really.
Gratitude.
I have so much. I need to keep it in perspective more often.
Street Art.
I love that people aren't out there just to destroy property. Stuff like this creates smiles. Props to whoever thought this stuff up.
I think I'm searching for inspiration...
