Beautifully written. I love that you were humble enough to share that story of your early years in being an art critic. I've found that as I get older I am less dismissive about ideas that I might not be fully connected with. We all evolve, which is a good thing. Fountain Street is a magical place full of really incredible people. I'm sad to lose it, but glad to have been a part of it. - Deceptively Frothy forever.....

Cate, I’ve always loved your art writing, so sharp and thoughtful on many levels with a deep passion for the Boston art community. This is again another insightful piece.

Making good art takes faith in the process, as well as patience. And no, it’s not easy bringing your interior to the surface in physical form. I appreciate your candor and empathy for the process. I’m also pleased that Passage V reached out and into you; that is what I hope for my work.
