Over the years the Folktree has been such a great venue- the collection of artwork is breathtaking.

If the rumours are true, and the Folktree will in fact be closing it’s doors- it will be sorely missed.

On a more postive note- I’ll be at the Folktree this Sat for the opening reception -

One of my most favorite  tradiitons of Dia de los muertos are the altars.

They are so personal and joyful-celebrating life.

This is my altar at home-honoring family members.
