The Inspired Collaborative

Join Kassandra Mirosh of Weyekin Studio and myself for a very special show featuring Kassandra’s extraordinary folded feathers artwork along with our series of collaborative poetry broadsides, which opens on Friday, July 5, 2024 at Ranting Raven in Seward, Alaska. There will also be Sea Smoke Arts paintings, books, and the full compliment of Seward mountain art card sets on hand.

In addition, there is a new release of cards featuring Seward’s Arctic terns, inspired by the annual migration each spring to our wetlands to nest and fledge their young. These are new to the card set series and I hope they bring you joy as well as remind all of us how important the local habitat is for their livelihood. We are fortunate to call them kin.

The show will be up all month, so if you have time, make your way to Ranting Raven and enjoy a walk along the long wall. Enjoy!
