Kick-off program

“We Write the Book” 2025 at the Northridge Library Kick-off Workshop!

I am thrilled to serve again as a 2025-26 “NEAR” Artist in Residence at the Northridge Branch Library!

This Neighborhood Engagement Artist Residency (NEAR) is supported by the wonderful City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.

On September 13th, 2025, over 30 participants of a diverse ages and backgrounds gathered to learn how to create the accordion fold book, create one and two cut pop-ups, and joyfully develop their books into fanciful, whimsical and fantastical works of art.

Fitting words of appreciation for the Library, and truly encapsulates why we all do what we do!
