“The Earth lifts it’s feminine veil for a new balance of nature. Look to your mothers and your sisters before you act, listen to their compassion and grace, this is the wisdom of the Earth, and where we now need to turn.” - #stevenarnold

Remembering Stephanie Farago today, on what would’ve been her 75th birthday.
Stephanie was Steven Arnold’s dear friend, beginning in the the 60s in San Francisco, and took over the storage and preservation of his life, work, and legacy after his passing in 1994. She was a brilliant artist, loving friend, and an inspiration to all who knew her.
She died in 2014, establishing in her will the Steven Arnold Museum and Archives, a non profit, private archive dedicated to furthering Steven’s work, philosophy and legacy, with the ultimate goal of benefiting AIDS charities and artists living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.
Her presence is missed, but her work continues. Happy Birthday, Stephanie! #memorial #stephaniefarago #stevenarnold
