Hey Philly!
I need your help finding 3 walls for 10x10ft murals this fall all about the most charismatic bugs in the city.
Each mural must be in a different neighborhood, so we have to cast this net as wide as possible.
Please help us spread the word!
Submit your wall at bit.ly/bugwalls

I went to the Small Museum Association Conference this year! I had such an amazing time and met so many wonderful museum professionals! It was a packed day with opportunities for small group networking, great presentations, a trip to the York County History Center, and even trivia!

Art vs Artist 2025! This year was huge for me, I worked on my first freelance project, completed a six month internship with the Please Touch Museum, received a fellowship for a professional mentorship, learned how to 3D model and animate, and started my final year as an undergrad student.

Today is World Biodiversity Day and I want to share some of PA's diverse pollinators. I created this interpretive design to educate visitors about the abundance of pollinators in PA. Creating an interpretive board like this is of my dream career projects! Who's your favorite?
