Care Quotes is a print series highlighting excerpts from caregiver stories.

Taken directly from the shared accounts of caregivers working during the COVID-19 pandemic, the messages in the Care Quotes series also speak to our own thoughts and feelings as we all learn how best to navigate these challenging times.


Care Quotes are hand-cut and printed by artist Michael Rippens. There are currently five designs in the series, with each pressing limited to an edition of ten. These prints are being offered to the public to raise awareness and funds for the Care Talk project and the Pilipino Workers Center of Southern California (PWC). 50% of the proceeds from each print sold will be donated to the PWC to sustain their advocacy and support for caregivers and other workers in the low-wage Filipino community. The remaining proceeds will help cover operating costs associated with the Care Talk project.

To purchase a Care Quote print, email caretalkproject@gmail.com or send a message using this contact form. Please refer to the images and availability below, and indicate the specific print(s) you are interested in purchasing.

If you would like to make an additional tax-deductible donation to the Pilipino Workers Center, please do so here. Thank you!

A limited number of Test Prints are also being offered at a reduced rate of $20 each.

These are marked “Test”, titled and signed by the artist. See below for remaining quantities.
