Honduras Heifer Tour

Santa Rosa, a historic colonial town in Honduras. My partner Cara toured indigenous communities participating in Heifer International projects. This town housed a potter who had become a beekeeper with the support of Heifer.

Bain Water Project

The E.B. Bain Water Treatment plant is a designated Raleigh Historic Landmark, though it has ben neglected for many years. Now a new art project is developing dialogues about the structure and its place in Raleigh's culture as a new development of the property is planned. These are pictures from a tour during the early planning stages of the art project.
