Work While You Have the Light
Conversations with working women over seventy who refuse to be stopped by outdated assumptions of the roles of older women in society today. We discuss gender, equity, ageism, race and relationships in both the workplace and society.
Work While You Have the Light
Dot Fisher-Smith - Artist, 92
Dot Fisher-Smith is an artist, journalist, activist, buddhist, group leader and teacher in Ashland, Oregon. Dot was the main subject of a feature documentary released in 2010 called: AN ORDINARY LIFE. Dot’s art is simple in conception--colored pencils, ink and pastels drawn on worn canvas from her meditation yurt--and yet, the precision of her lines coupled with the organic process in which she creates is next to genius. However, Dot is perhaps even more known for her activism--pictured in 2003 on the cover of Earth First, nude, in front of a giant slice from a slaughtered ancient fir tree. There is no one on Earth like Dot. Dot is 92 and continues to create art, write and inspire by using her bicycle for local transportation.
