In-process design: First in a series of posters.

Each drawing attention to a program of employee recognition requiring the nomination of peers. Thanks to Robin Easter for a wonderful chance to collaborate.

Helping crew a petite art tour in Kenilworth.


With gratitude to Connie Aridas, my design partner, who poured her time and talent into this at no charge. Also thanks to Michael Robinson, Kathie Kline, Christine Riley and Diana Gillispie for suggestions on mapping the tour.

For UNCA, a world of orchids, blow guns, and jaguars.

Many thanks to Debbie Griffith and Jill Yarnall for pulling me into the jungles of Guyana with Dr. Clarke and the Amerindians. Still recovering from drinking cassava with the Wai Wais.

Full blown portraits of very small places


For HandMade in America, illustrated narratives of Crossnore and Hayesville revitalization work, prototypes for a series of pieces on small town initiatives in western North Carolina. So thin in population they don't qualify for
Main Street funding, these small places have, nevertheless, succeeded in pulling off remarkable physical and cultural changes, accomplished through persistence, good will, and the generous spirits of many folks. Thanks to Judi Jetson of HandMade for her trust and determination and to Sharon Harms, designer, who rode these to the ground and brought a lot to the party. Also many thanks to Rob Tiger of Hayesville and Ann Baker of Crossnore for their great help with content and alterations.
