Summertime and the livin' is busy!

Now that school is out for the summer, I am diving deep into all sorts of other projects!

Most immediately, I will be painting Toms shoes tonight at Doug's in Hood River (101 Oak Street). The First Fridays event lasts from 5-8 p.m. and they are shutting down a portion of Oak Street for the festivities! A portion of the proceeds from each Toms shoe sale will be donated to Arts in Education of the Gorge. 

In other news, I recently finished illustrating a book called "The New Livestock Farmer" by Rebecca Thistlewaite. Chelsea Green Publishing will be releasing the book in the summer of 2015.

Another exciting bit of news is that I was recently accepted into the Emerging Printmakers Residency through Print Arts Northwest! The residency is a year-long program of mentorship, based out of Portland, that works to match artists who are beginning their careers with those who have been working professionally for some time. I will post details on our culminating group show as they are announced.
