Buena Vista Album Artwork
In Fall 2021 I was invited to contribute a painting of mycelium for a portion of the artwork to be used on Marcus Walton’s latest album, Buena Vista. I enjoyed making the painting, and later, even more, listening to the album. All my gratitude to Marcus for the opportunity. Check out the album anywhere you stream music or on Marcus Walton’s site.
Unprecedented Project
In Spring 2021 I stumbled upon the Unprecedented Project. A very cool public poetry project launched in reaction to the pandemic. It combined all my loves of text, art, and mail so I had to sign up. A page of The Decameron arrived in my mailbox and I proceeded to search for my own found poem. There are countless wonderful ones to see in both the Unprecedented gallery and on their instagram.
This project remains open to anyone who would like to participate. Follow the link for more details.
#Postmarked
#Postmarked was an online exhibit and postcard sale in Sept 2020. Proceeds went towards an endowment at Penland to fund a Crafting the Future scholarship, every year, forever and ever. Participants made and mailed postcards to Penland. $30 would purchase a randomly selected postcard that was then mailed to the buyer at the end of the exhibit.
Peregrine Espresso Illustration
In 2019 I did an illustration of coffee plants for Peregrine Espresso to use on custom mugs and t-shirts.
