Bears in the Summit
Bears in the Summit is a community art project organized by The Gathering Place in Clarks Summit, PA. Artists were selected to paint foam archery target bears, which were sponsored by local businesses. My bear is inspired by the Mexican Day of the Dead. It features bright, vivid flowers and a sugar skull motif. He is on display at Curl Up & Dye Hair Salon.
Several local news outlets covered the project:

Poems From Isolation
A 2020 zine about quarantine, pandemic fatigue, and social withdrawals, Poems From Isolation compiles poetry and photos from 20 poets. Many writers are scattered across the United States, while others are on different continents. This zine aimed to produce a snapshot of life during this massive shared experience.
