“Octavia’s Wisdom” is an original painting on 12x18 canvas paper inspired by the genius herself, Octavia Estelle Butler. We are so abundantly blessed by the generosity of Octavia who shared so much of her wisdom through her gifts and her art. May we continue to honor, listen and study all that you have to share!

“I have advice in just a few words. The first, of course, is to read. It's surprising how many people think they want to be writers but they don't really like to read books…And the second is to write, every day, whether you like it or not. Screw inspiration. The third is to forget about talent, whether or not you have any. Because it doesn't really matter.” - Octavia E. Butler
