A New Art Book Perfectly Captures the Emotions and Absurdities of Our Lives

Vivienne Boucherat used art to process her ups and downs. Though she never intended her pieces to be published, we're sure happy they were.

Did you not notice her in there? Vivienne Boucherat? In your head, sketching away, creating images that capture all the angst and humor of life at this age?

You can learn more about Know Your `CRAZy' at our virtual event on Feb. 23rd. Vivienne Boucherat's team will be at a virtual booth, where you can purchase the book, plus we'll be giving away a copy as a prize to one of the attendees. Get your tickets here.

You'll surely suspect she was inside your brain when you leaf through Boucherat's new art book called, Know Your`CRAZy,' published by women for women. Through most of her life, Boucherat has been making drawings, collages, watercolors, and such to explore, vent, and master her feelings. Sixty-three of them are collected in the book, expressing reactions to various scenarios women know all too well, from having to put on your game face to feeling you don't measure up to dealing with the mental fog of menopause. The cheeky captions on each are half the fun.

NextTribe is a travel and events company for women 45+. We believe that now—at midlife—is our shaken-Etch-A-Sketch moment, when the slate is once again blank. Today, our conversations question which direction we are headed in and how to get there. How to drink it all in and how to give back. We’d like your voices and humor to be heard, your ideas to be shared, and for you to hear ours. This tribe is one of contemplation, inspiration, wit, and action. Though we may have men in our lives, we believe it’s invigorating to touch base at a time like this with people who have the same sagging parts and swinging moods. Now that we have more time for adventure, more experience for new life paths, more wisdom to connect the dots in our histories, and less care about what people think, we’re sure these coming years can be a glorious stretch. Spiritual and irreverent, creative and courageous, this site, these postings, will serve as our cave drawings and warrior paint. Please join us on our walkabout.
