Jess Taylor My plan this month is to create a finished piece. I generally just do quick sketching/journaling etc., so it will be fun to document a work in progress. I will definitely add in other bits when time or mood calls! Thanks for supporting CVRAN. No need to say this is a crucial year. Be well, J.

Jean will be doing watercolor sketches and paintings of varying subjects - landscape, architecture, still life, animals, etc. Loring will take the lead for the first 11 days or so, with occasional posts from Jean; then we'll switch for a while; then share after that.

Team: Em & Zivah (Emily Sloan and Zivah Solomon) Our plan is to create 2 photographic montages of 3 images each sent on Tuesday & Saturday of each week. The montage imagery will be accompanied by a poetic phrase that each of us collaborate on. Our work primarily focuses upon moments of awe & wonder in the natural world - up close and at a distance. We will combine 6 days of photographs into 2 montages that are sent 2x weekly in an attempt not to overwhelm one's inbox.
Axie Noyes Small pieces of older, aged writing, commentary, poetry, and art work, some fresh, some from the past, a song or two in the sme vein.
Team: Witte - Severin (Ruth Witte, Freya Severin, Sonja Severin, Winona Witte) To put love and beauty forward in the path of cruelty by our government, as our generations remain united standing up for what is right and good in this world.
Eva Schectman I plan to share drawings from various media and photographs. I may also revisit/share older works of mixed media, as the spirit moves me. Six days each week in March. What fun!
Team: Barbara Johnson & John Bollard Writing & some Photographs: translations & commentary on Indian Jewish songs & Welsh poetry.

Alexandra Forbes Wood carvings, wax figures (for casting) and drawings
Team: The Chromatics (Karen Rodis, Finnie Trimpi, Fiona Davis) We will work in a variety of mediums such as watercolor, gouache, ceramics, and fiber, and create what inspires us! We love color, so our virtual "gallery" will be filled with images to inspire you and make your eyeballs happy. Our team members will each share their artwork twice during the first week of March. From there, we will each take a week to feature our own art. Finnie will take week 2, Karen will take week 3, and Fiona will finish up with week 4.
Team: The Jawns (Liz Todd, Jess Weathers) The Jawns will be sharing three types of art work throughout March: fiber arts, writing, collage, and drawing. Jess will be sharing updates to her fiber arts projects on Thursdays throughout March, and Liz will share a collage, drawing, or piece of writing on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
Nancy Oakes Inspired by Ross Gay’s book, “Book of Delights”, I am setting myself the challenge to take special notice of small joys that I encounter during the month of March. Each day I will document one “Dailey Delight” in the form of photography, painting, poetry or “ponderings”. Since the recent installment of two bird feeders, I have experienced much pleasure from my close observations of a myriad of birds. More illustrated birds soon to follow!
Sue MacMartin I plan to do mostly visual art -- paintings and sketches in a variety of media -- perhaps with some photos or writing mixed in. Please note: Images of work will be sent to sponsors via text.
Glen Hutcheson A collaborative painting developed throughout the month of March by me and visitors to The Front gallery in Montpelier.
Julie Carino I’m inspired and restored by beauty in nature. I will be working with a variety of media - watercolor or collage on paper, acrylic or mixed media on canvas, digital photography, and clay - and finding some magic in the mundane. Thanks for checking out my work and thank you for supporting CVRAN.
