Episode Synopsis

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.https://www.instagram.com/workwhileyouhavethelight/
