Online class – assemblage/shrine project
Flash sale! use code 15SHRINE. Good til So I have another online class that just launched and it’s about creating a shrine using collected and curated items.

“Hope and Imagine” a fundraiser for MOGO after Australian fires
My good friend, Seth Apter and I decided to organize a fundraiser in order to support Mobilising for Mogo , after our friend Sallianne McClelland shared with us how the Mogo Local Aboriginal Land Council was destroyed with the fire also destroying the art gallery.
