New Projects

It may seem as though I've been a slacker but I've actually been quite busy working on 2 really awesome projects. Both projects are in the same vein of spreading love through public art. I am so honored to be working with 2 really worthy organizations in painting a newspaper box that will be placed in NW Portland. Orlo, an organization that explores environmental issues through the creative arts, publishes a quarterly magazine called Bear Deluxe. Orlo partners with local organizations and artists to paint the outside of the boxes and places them in highly traveled areas throughout Portland. I was chosen by William Temple House to paint a box that represented their mission of renewing strength and hope in indivduals and families. Check out the link for information about this awesome project. I will post more information about the "unveiling" and will post pictures once the box has been placed.

The second project I'm working on is for my friends Anne and Ian's wedding. They are getting married on a beautiful piece of property in Boring, Oregon. It also happens to be Anne's childhood home. I'm creating little ceramic charms with words and poems about love and placing them throughout the property for the guests to take home. I'm also going to document the process and the event and create a book for my friends as their wedding gift. Images will be posted within a week or 2. See...I told you I've been busy!
