2007 was the year of the belly chakra so we had bellies on our brains. One day, while sitting in our kitchen sipping tea with our friend, award-winning poet Camille Norton, we decided to draw each other’s bellies. Annie drew Beth’s belly, then Beth drew Annie’s belly, and Camille embellished them with lovely spontaneous poetry. One of our favorite poems is Lifting Belly by Gertrude Stein, so we titled them Lifting Belly Drawings. Love thy belly, we say!
