Wine Country Fires: Artists and Designers Create Artwork, Decals, Prints for Fire Relief
Following the devastating North Bay Fires, volunteers continue to mobilize in great numbers, taking on various roles to care for affected community members. Among those eager to help are local artists and designers who, after the fires broke out, immediately went to work within their realm of expertise – creating images of hope and solidarity.
LETTERPRESS LOVE: “The love in the air is thicker than the smoke” signs, which appeared throughout Sonoma during the fires, perfectly capture the community’s rally to unite, endure and recover. Katie Marie Nealon, of folding bones press, letterpress printed her interpretation of the #sonomastrong sentiment using antique lead type and hand-carved linoleum blocks on 5x7 cardstock. Nealon says she created this “in response to the tragic fires” and “to support family, friends and neighbors who lost homes.” $10, Folding Bone Studios, 707-543-6051, foldingbonespress.com
