MY FIRST EMAIL EXCHANGE WITH PAT LINSE TOOK place in 2001. We talked about farm animals.
I had sent an unsolicited art submission query email to my favorite magazine, not even knowing if the Art Director was a man or a woman. I’d finished art school a year earlier, and was hoping to move away from the trade that funded my life during my 20s—herding large flocks of 1500 sheep in the wilderness on the Canadian side of the Alaska panhandle.
