Owl Joy

My birdhouse is a functioning home for Western Screech Owls — a handmade wooden enclosure featuring an illustration of a genial Northwest woodsman with a glorious beard. As the illustration wraps around the birdhouse, the beard will transform into an owl-filled forest — expressing visually, the joy of being connected to wild places.

Our hearts go out to the people and animals who have been affected by the tragic fires in California. These images are from folks expressing their love and doing what they can to support the victims. Art heals and makes a difference. 🧡

ON THE BLOG: Disrupt captured our state of mind and an important stage of the process of making. This year we shook it up with a different format and a different venue. That did not take away from the evenings message, or the work we have done to support arts education for under-served youth. Thank you to everyone who came out, and thank you to everyone who shared their story!
