The NewsFEATHER has one aim: to use the gift of art-making to nourish that most fundamental of connections -- the bond between ourselves and the created world. Each issue will contain a mixture of new images from my camera or brush; new developments at the Snowbird Arts studio; quotes, references, links and resources for connecting with the natural riches at our doorsteps, and the inner wealth of our own creative processes. We are oh, so terrifically excited to send you the first letter in what we hope will be a long and warm correspondence. so you can continue to receive The NewsFEATHER.

Yours,
Linda, and The Flock at Snowbird Arts

PS- Please do forward The NewsFEATHER in its entirety to anyone you think may enjoy it. That's how we grow!

SNOWBIRD ARTS' GENERAL STORE RE-OPENS

Sometimes you just need nature and wildlife on your stuff. We know this.

So we made a first priority of the Grand Re-Opening of our It has been challenging to find high quality service providers for art-imprinted merchandise, but we feel it has been worth the wait. We have more lines of photography and graphic design, and more still waiting in the wings (so to speak...) Check back regularly, as we will be trying hard to get new items on the virtual shelves each week.

YOUR COMMENTS

"When I think of NewsFEATHER I am reminded of pigeons who carried news, the aboriginal tradition of whoever holds the feather gets to speak, and of feathers as quills - early pens that put words to paper."
