“Amidst tragic news stories that illustrate women’s struggles across the globe, it is a struggle to strive for optimism. One way I make sense of it is to work on expanding into my fullest creative expression, in hopes to inspire or touch atleast someone, somewhere along the process. It is an incredible privilege to be an artist to travel and to be given a platform to express my vision. For these things I am beyond grateful. Participating in the first every women’s street art festival in India was a blessing, honour and honestly too much fun. Thank you to all those who made it possible and welcomed me with open arms.” – Lena McCarthy
