It was an honor and a thrill to spend two weeks with fellow guide Wendy Given and 8 wonderful artist residents exploring and learning about the mighty Loowit.
Huge thanks to the Mount Saint Helens Institute for inviting us and to everyone who supports Signal Fire‘s work.
I’m delighted to have been awarded a residency at the Sitka Center for Art + Ecology for December, 2018.
Thanks, also, to PNCA for granting me a sabbatical so that I can focus on my creative work while I’m there!
I am honored to be teaching at the Sitka Center for Art + Ecology. Here are some photos from my recent sold-out workshop, “Observation, Imagination, and Chance with Watermedia.”
Thank you to all the wonderful students I met!
If you’re interested in participating in future workshops, please be in touch.
I spearheaded an Art + Ecology Minor at the Pacific Northwest College of Art.
Students are already making incredible work in this program and several community partnerships have been made with organizations such as PLAYA, Signal Fire, Oregon Environmental Council, and OPAL.
The new program was also featured in Juxtapoz!
I’m excited to be leading a workshop on Visual Storytelling at ScaleHouse, a wonderful community art space in Bend, OR. More details are here.
For the entire month of March, I’ll be at Caldera as an artist-in-residence. I’m honored and I can’t wait!
I created a chapbook with the incredible Kaia Sand based on our collaboration as part of my Words in Place project. The chapbook is on display at the Killingsworth Branch, Multnomah County Library. Photos coming soon!
I was honored to participate in the creation of Abigail Anne Newbold‘s collaborative installation, Borderlander’s Outfitter at PNCA’s Feldman Gallery. As a representative of Signal Fire, I led workshops with the graduate students who created objects for the exhibition. They were an inspiring and creative bunch, and the installation turned out impressively.
A blog post about my recent workshop at the Henry with Lisa Schonberg is featured
on the Henry’s blog. And you can see a whole bunch more images from the event here. One of my favorites from Ryan Pierce is shown here.
Also, a nice shout-out for my various projects from Sockeye‘s Sara Guest at this blog post.
