Creative Communion

The recent Re-Art Maura showcase was a creative love story of Maura Lisa. An artistic reminder for us that love transcends the boundary of life. 💚 ✨

Big hearted thank yous to *everyone* involved in the exhibit at the Pendleton Art Studios Middletown. 🤟 A deep meaningful spirit of goodwill filled every wall. Sales from the show exceeded $1500 and will be spilt between two of Maura's passions; Art Central Foundation (Summer Art Workshops) and the Pendleton Art Studios Middletown thriving artist fund for community engagement. 🤟

Deeply grateful to Maura's:
💚 generous family for donations & personal creations
💚 art/craft enthusiasts & purchasers
💚 kindred makers of the PAC
💚 young artists of the Art Central Foundation
💚 teen artists of You Matter - A Book + Art Club for Teens
💚 creative friends near & far
💚 community of Downtown Middletown, Inc.
💚 sweet treats from Central Pastry

Special thank you to curator Artique Sue Schaefer Wittman and sponsors Team Art Central Foundation Teresa Rivers Cherry Vintage Design Studio & moi-même.

Anyone else travel with cyanotype fabrics? Anyone else pick up little treasures to print? Anyone else lock in to creativity when surrounded by nature? Anyone??

Grateful for the Sat. gathering at the Pendleton Art Studios Middletown for Co-creation: World Collage Day. Celebrating and creating in analog did our hands & heart good. TY Kathy, Julie, Kali, Kim, Emilie, Tandy, Debbie, Rhonda, Jan, Janice & Heather for sharing in the abundance of paper book making!

AI can't even. Make it stick. Snip the paper. Draft a vision. Craft a story. Fold a card. Create signatures. Measure & cut. Mend & tape. Dip into color. Upcycle vintage.
