    This is so true ma’am. Being very intentional about love making moves you beyond spontaneity, being conscious of each other’s needs… committed and intentional to being very happy. I totally relate.

What do you hear when you sit in silence? For artist Rose B. Simpson, that question is the beginning of all art. She comes from a line of ceramic artists stretching back generations and, as part of her multidisciplinary work, she also builds custom lowrider cars.

In conversation with “Design Matters” podcast host Debbie Millman, Simpson invites you to find your own aesthetic — not by searching, but by listening.
