I had the opportunity to help create a collaborative mosaic
back in 2011 when I was working for Vibe of Portland,
a nonprofit arts and music educational organization with the mission to
"Empower Portland's Underserved Youth through Art & Music."
Teaching artist for Vibe, Leslie Barnum (see below), headed up this project.
I am so grateful for this hands-on introduction to mosaic because it
inspired me to explore this art form more seriously two years later.
inspired me to explore this art form more seriously two years later.
Thank you Leslie!
I didn't get to see the finished mosaic until I visited
Portland three years later, in 2015 (see below).
