COMMISSIONS • IDENTITY
Client: Midnight Sun Tango Camp
Annual identity for a unique tango festival in a rustic camp setting. Think summer camp for adults—with hiking, lake swimming and water sports, sweat lodge, guitar and harp jams—but with 9 hours of tango dancing a day. AND, amazing Turkish food in the cook house for a global community of dancers.
Image for postcards, T-shirts, and advertising, 2019.
Sadly, the camp for 2020 was canceled due to the pandemic a few months after the image Dances with Wolves was created.

Project: Watershed on Wheels (WoW
Express), a 26 foot trailer van and exhibits,
2009
Linocut Size: 18 x 52 inches
The Watershed on Wheels is a science museum on wheels to educate about the creatures and environments in the Silvio O. Conte National Fish and Wildlife Refuge. Currently, the refuge is comprised of over 36,000 acres within parts of the four Connecticut River watershed states of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.
In addition to attending local fairs and festivals throughout the Connecticut River watershed, the WoW Express has an environmental education program tied to state and national science standards for 3rd-5th grades that focuses on watersheds, rivers, adaptations, and habitats.
My linocuts were carved at 1/6 size and enlarged for the 26 foot trailer wraps. I designed the cut so that details of the image could be cropped and used for exhibit panels and experiences that came out of the van for an event.
