Unlikely adventures require unlikely tools." -Mr. Magorium Join me in the gallery amidst my collection of story art. I will explain the work and offer the opportunity for you to create your own piece of art to take home. In the end, we are all stories. This phrase resonates throughout my body every time I say it, write it, think it… People pass through our stories and we pass through theirs. It’s poetic and sad and encouraging all at once. Thursday, May 15th is my artist talk @pinwheel_gallery and we’ll be creating collaborative watercolor doodles. Gentle mini workshop while I share 🙂 because in “my story” I’m a 5 year old at heart and just want to make things with friends.
