He offers insight into the cultural spirit of the times that influenced Mom's lifetime of dedication and passion as a painter and printmaker. Together with her life partner and father of their five kids, Gennie and Bob became a hub of local, state and national community of artists and like minded liberal thinkers of the times.”
