| My mother and her mother were each amazing artists in their own right. My sister was my first peer that I felt inspired by to make art. When I was very little, I remember sitting and watching with awe and admiration as my sister drew the hair on a portrait. Seeing women in my family make art has been a huge gift to my heart. Even the shared heritage of self-doubt of our role as artists was a gift that has spurred my commitment to art making and to myself. What's something you experience as a gift from your ancestors? |  |
 | Today's cartoon is the glorious reimagining of a drawing I didn't know what to do with until one of my Patreon supporters added just the magic it needed to bring this image back from the trash pile. |
[image description: A tiny heart with a shocked facial expression, mouth agape, and arms thrown up and out, stands in the palms of a larger heart. The tiny heart looks at the larger heart and the larger heart smiles back. The larger heart is standing in even larger hands, so larger you can not see who or what they belong to within the frame. Text reads: "RIINA HIRSCH" and "WOW! My ancestors have given me so much!"]
