ReThink Topeka

I haven't posted in a bit but I have good reason...I'm currently working on my ReThink Topeka project.

ReThink Topeka is a movement to get people in and around Topeka Kansas to rethink how Topeka is perceived. Unfortunately, Topeka is often times viewed as a lifeless town without unique, fun things to do. But the art community is trying to change that. Printmaker, artist Justin Marable came up with ReThink Topeka to encourage area artists, writers, musicians and creative minded people to come up with ways to show how we can rethink Topeka. It's a fabulous idea and I'm so excited to be a part of it. If you are in the Topeka area I urge you to check it out at www.ReThinkTopeka.com and get involved!

Here are some of the photos I've taken around town to get started on the project.







I'm so excited to work on these! I've got a good start on one piece and an idea for my second piece. I'll be sure to show you the "after" pictures once I've submitted them to ReThink.
