Painted by Rain, an Artbook

My artbook, ‘Painted by Rain’ and future books, combine my poetry, photography and hand drawn elements into a moving art piece. The books are accordion folded- to express continuous thought. The viewer can turn the pages like a normal book, or open the book out to it’s full length to view it as one long, fluid art piece. Painted by Rain is printed in West Haven, CT at GHB Media, it’s first press is 100 copies, and will launch in March! 

It is deeply personal- diving into my struggles with addiction, miscarriage, parenting, and creativity bottled up inside. However personal, these challenges are not mine alone. Sadly, many people experience the same struggles. My deepest wish is that sharing my journey offers connection, inspiration and peace. 

When we take information in through art, we truly connect with it on a physical and spiritual level. Art has a profound impact on the reader/viewer- helping to heal much more deeply than through strictly intellectual modalities. Painted by Rain’s tactile, folded construction, photography and poetry create a multifaceted experience that is strikingly profound.
