I will be spending 4 weeks in Sisters, OR at an artist residency at Pine Meadow Ranch April 17 – May 17, 2019. I am super excited for the opportunity to immerse myself in the creative process in a beautiful part of the country. I will be working on an artist book project focusing on Mt. Hood Wilderness. 

Until the next time…
peace, love, and radical change
