"Broken places, broken people, broken promises. Anything broken gives room for new possibility to create and re-create that dustless place."
Lily Yeh has been helping revitalize broken places for over 20 years. Often using broken pieces of tile to "rebuild... bring hope, bring joy, bring color" and make a broken place whole and beautiful. The Barefoot Artist, a film by Glenn Holsten and Daniel Traub, follows Lily on her more personal inner journey to "mend the brokeness inside."
