Mobile Art – A Message from Steve and Janet Wozniak for Carolyn Hall Young
Sometimes we make magic, as long as we have hope over fear and we all know that Carolyn Hall Young would agree with that. As you know, she is very ill at the moment, in hospital.
A few days ago, I wrote to Steve Wozniak of Apple and tried very hard to describe Carolyn to him and how much she loves Apple. The opportunities they have all given her by creating incredible products enabling her to continue to create art, despite her medical challenges. I also attached the TrueView video she made talking explaining what her work says about mobile photograph and mobile art (link), so he could really get a feel for her…
This morning I received a reply from Steve and his wife Janet, I will attach it below and of course send a copy to Carolyn in hospital.
(I created a Facebook group for artists to submit their words and images to, you can find that here).
A Message for Carolyn from Steve & Janet Wozniak
“Watched the video.
She is doing such a great service to share her artistic talents with others. She is truly a happy person and that is the best gift of all.
Woz has a happiness formula.
It is:
H=S-F
Happiness = Smiles – Frowns
She has this formula figured out & we are glad she is sharing her happiness and artistic talents with others.
Steve & Janet Wozniak”

Well there is a smile and a half, too, it fairly beams. I’m quite sure Carolyn is feeling the warmth of that sunshine. Thanks for letting us share, thanks.
