Giving back to the communities that so kindly welcomed me here in Seattle while collaborating in crafting meaningful pieces of letterpress art fills my heart with a sense of purpose, gratitude, and connection. Since 2015 I have had the honor to be invited by SVC Letterpress, now Partners in Print (PiP), to be one of twenty+ artists/printers who help give “Words of Courage” project its visual and physical qualities.
You can see images from other artists and learn more about the project visiting PiP page.
