A
Well,
my
name
is
cara,
luno
and
I've
lived
in
boulder
since
1983
and
I
spent
30
years
as
a
psychotherapist,
although
I
had
an
undergraduate
degree
in
fine
arts,
so
in
2010
the
county
laid
off
a
whole
bunch
of
us.
A
I
don't
know
if
you
remember
that,
but
I
was
the
last
recession
a
whole
bunch
of
us
got
laid
off
and
I
got
back
into
art
and
it
turned
out
to
be
a
really
good
change
for
me
just
really
great,
and
so
I
I
started
painting
again-
and
I
did
you
know
a
tremendous
amount
of
painting
for
the
last
decade
and
I
started
a
business
in
2014.
A
I
make
all
the
arrangements
and
they
come
to
boulder
and
I
host
to
teach
they
come
to
teach
and
I
host
the
the
events
and
it's
been
hugely
successful.
Most
of
my
events
have
filled
up
and
it's
just
been
really
fun.
There's
been
a
lot
of
perks
in
it
for
me,
and
I
love
the
business
well
in
a
lot
of
ways.
It's
kind
of
the
introvert's
dream.
I
I've
had
a
lot
of
time
to
myself,
which
I
you
know
as
an
artist.
I
really
appreciate-
and
it's
been
a
very
productive
time
for
me.
A
Actually
so
that's
been
great,
and
I
I'll
just
say
one
more
thing
about
that.
I
was
going
to
a
studio
to
paint
several
times
a
week
and
then,
but
it's
a
shared
studio,
so
I
got
nervous
about
that
after
covid,
so
I
got
out
my
camera
and
started
taking
a
lot
of
pictures
and
have
done
a
whole
new
body
of
work
of
photographs
and,
if
you'd
like
to
see
those,
I
would
I
love
that
they're
at
cara
luna.com.
A
So
anyway,
I'm
I'm
very
excited
about
about
that
and
what
else?
A
A
The
project
I
came
up
with
was
to
invite
the
neighborhood
to
submit
artwork
and
for
an
online
exhibit,
so
the
online
exhibit
is
on
instagram
and
it's
on
a
page
called
sheltering
whittier,
because
I
live
in
the
whittier
neighborhood.
A
It's
been
very,
very
slow
to
take
off.
I
actually
leafleted
the
whole
neighborhood
and
I
only
got
you
know.
I
think
I
only
have
six
pieces
of
art,
so
one
of
the
some
of
the
feedback,
I've
gotten
from
parents
in
the
neighborhood
is
that
their
kids,
the
parents,
have
their
hands
full,
just
trying
to
get
the
kids
to
do
their
online
school
stuff.
So
I'm
gonna
do
another
big
splash
or
whatever
you
call
it,
probably
at
the
end
of
this
week
or
over
memorial
weekend,
because
school
gets
out.
A
Public
schools
end
this
week,
so
hopefully
parents
will
be
looking
for
things
for
their
kids
to
do
and
I'm
hoping
to
get
a
better
turnout.
And
I
you
know
I
I
wanted
artwork
from
all
ages,
not
just
kids,
but
so
I'm
not
quite
sure
why
more
adults
haven't
responded,
but
anyway
I'll
keep
keep
at
it.
A
But
it's
been
nice
to
engage
with
the
neighborhood
around
it.
That's
been
fun
and
I'm
hoping
that
if,
when
things
calm
down-
and
we
can
all
gather
again-
we'll
have
a
physical
exhibition
with
a
big
party.
So
I'll
get
lots
of
food
and
and
have
the
neighborhood
actually
come
together,
physically,
which
will
be
much
more
gratifying
and
look
at
the
yard
and
and
just
visit.
So.
