Destination: Mankato!

This summer I spent the day in Mankato, MN for a destination piece in this fall's Minnesota Meetings and Events. Up until that point, I had only ventured to the city once, and spent most of my time on my friend's boat. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with what I found—a city working on becoming more bike friendly, arts supporting and sustainable. Plus, there is a really awesome winery (three in fact!). You can (sort of) check out the piece in the digital version of the magazine here. Photos to come!

Doing more art, taking it to the next level

As much as I love working on C.L.A.P., it bums me out to not work on any creative expression that is all my own. With that in mind, I decided to take advantage of the colder, darker days by doing more art, relaunching my art blog  Double Peace and adding art to the Double Peace etsy site. I also have been spending a lot of time going through my old blogs and social media platforms to archive all the work I've done in the past, both visual and written, which has been a wild ride. I've also been watching a lot of Northern Exposure. Isn't that what fall is for?
