an update on my Arctic Circle residency fundraising: i'm so humbled by the individual support i've received; the community endorsement is deeply motivating. Thank you!
In addition to individual donations, 2 small but mighty AK orgs, the #NorthernCenter and #Denali Education Center, have sponsored my trip, & I'm excited to share what comes of it through their 2025 programs.
I'm still accepting donations; any amount helps alleviate travel costs.
I'm a big fan of #abortionfunds, and this is a fund-a-thon month for the Northwest Abortion Access Fund, which serves #alaska, washington, oregon, and idaho. So I made a fundraising team.
If you'd like to make a donation and have even the most peripheral connection to #Denali, we'd love your support! (or donate individually if you're not a team person. I'm not either. Except with this stuff. Because we need each other)
Here's what I"ll be up to next month in #Fairbanks! I'm looking forward to interesting conversations and deepening our own questions. Maybe you'll join us?
And because a lot of us are still kinda new here and don't really know each other yet, I'll share a couple examples of my writing (on climate or climate-adjacent themes), so you can see more of where I'm coming from, aesthetically. Here's a piece on the #Denali park road from a few years ago:
Four different takes on painting/drawing Denali. In order, in 1934 by Sydney Laurence, circa 1930s/40s by Ted Lambert, in 1995 by William Crosby, and in 2016 by Dan McCarthy. #alaskahistory#alaska#denali
Denali, aka The Great One, was recently photographed by Michelle Hanson. Denali is the highest mountain in Alaska and in North America. Stunning photos! #Alaska#Denali#TheGreatOne
Just back from an amazing week of BWB-Biking with Bears, in Denali National Park. And boy, did we bike with bears this trip. It was pretty epic. I'll have a full blog post tomorrow. #Alaska#Denali#Bears#WildLifePhotography
