The Coffee Break

"The Coffee Break" by Leslie Tucker Jenison was inspired by Leslie's long-running conversations with Jamie Fingal.

Artist Statement: "The Coffee Break refers to a long-running email conversation with my friend and teaching partner, Jamie Fingal. When I see “coffee break” in the subject line, I know to get my cuppa and put my feet up, because it will be a long conversation in print. We discuss business items, personal issues…you name it; the coffee break has been a long-running habit which is often more of a lifeline."
