This guy took a little longer than I expected due to lockdown, lyme, and (temporarily) losing a very important key, but Oki Ducky went home today with his new family. He’s one of Pelaez Creative’s beloved characters, and I had the pleasure of bringing him to the 3D world!

Check out episode 5 on Manitou Center!

Join Henry as he learns from Paul and Trish (and Nico and Willow) about their work training body, mind, and spirit, and why Winona is such a great setting for that work!

This fifth episode marks the culmination of an Emerging Artist Grant from the Southeast Minnesota Arts Council, whose funding jumpstarted a project I've had in mind for a couple years now. Please join me for the Winona, I Love You - Reception (at Manitou!) to celebrate this first wing of the journey, and to meet some of the wonderful Winonans who have been so integral to this project! I hope to see you there!

My green thumb is mostly from all the green sharpie I’ve been using but also a little bit because I’ve been taking really good care of some plants lately.
