Pizza. Patience. and All Things Love. Lacy M Coligan

What is love? This crowd-sourced exercise produced 500+ responses from ages 6 - 83. Is pizza love to you? Or maybe dogs? There's no wrong answer if it's coming from the heart. Seeking out the stories of those in her community, and bringing a visual voice to their emotions, Coligan hopes to facilitate conversations around the importance of diversity, tolerance and mutual respect. Michigan-raised Coligan currently lives in Chicago with her three sons where her work is on permanent display at Agave Studio. She spends her days strategizing as a Design Director in the Loop, and in her spare time (ha!) she composes and performs original music, and creates art inspired by those around her. Her latest focus is in Policy through The University ofChicago Harris School of Public Policy-where she intends to continue her organizing and advocacy projects in order tooptimize her opportunity to make a real difference in people's lives.
