This week I sit down virtually with Allison Sommers, from her home in Brooklyn. Allison and I talk about her child as a military brat, her wildly, creative imagination and her slow coming, watershed moment around making the art her heart was telling her to all along. I have attached a cheat sheet below for references in our chat.
