I am a bio artist. I co-create with natural and living materials. I forage and make natural dyes, and use mycelium as a medium @ www.soil2surface.com
Prince would be proud. You guys are inspiring and critical ❤️ thank you for standing against #fascism

“PRINT, POUND & ROLL” was a success! Thank you to everyone who came out to the orchard today. Folks left with a Target gift bag and a piece of art to hang on the wall, a little piece of the orchard.
Enjoying our #Marigolds for the Day of the Dead Celebration. #spirits #family #friends & #dogs and #cats
