You Do Not Need
to Make Lemonade

How many times have well-meaning friends commented on how you’ve made inspirational lemonade from the perceived lemons of disability? After one too many times, I’ve decided it’s OK if I don’t always make lemonade. Tho creating art admittedly can be a bit like squeezing sour into new tastes. This mini-zine, “You Do Not Need to Make Lemonade,” has a bright yellow background of fresh lemon printing (inspired by Ruth Asawa) to remind us sweetener is NOT required.
