Fall 2018 Updates

porch studio

Greetings art friends!

My apologies for not staying in touch – It’s been an amazing but busy year. I took some time off to recharge my art scene, so while that meant less art events, I’m warming back up for this fall!

Here’s what’s been happening:


porch studio

I moved my studio back home, and set up on the sun porch! A new space complete with good lighting and a cross breeze. As you can imagine, I love being surrounded by branches, and it’s great to work at home again!


foodbankgraphics

In December, I accepted a full-time position as the Marketing & Design Coordinator at The Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to apply my graphic design to this amazing non-profit. I’ve been working on several projects including the annual report, newsletters, infographics and fundraising materials. Foodbankwma.org


foodbank staff art

Recently, The Food Bank hosted a staff art show, and we unveiled our locally grown food mural for The Food Bank’s common room! It was great to collaborate with my artsy co-workers and see all their amazing work.


bellybus

The ‘Fill the Belly Bus’ Community Food Drive was very successful this year, with 5,650 pounds of donated food and $3,225 in cash donations. I was happy to contribute an updated design for promotions, and created a cardboard ‘belly bus’ mascot for the big day! communityaction.usfccmp.org
