Coffee, Coffee!!

Our own Green Mountain Coffee Roasters was the host sponsor this year at the 25th Annual Specialty Coffee Association of America Conference! Over 9,300 coffee professionals from around the world attended this convention. Many languages, cultures and a vibrant gathering with coffee on their minds! From education, training, barista competitions, to equipment and exhibitions, its a happening scene.
Joining my husband Dan, (Mr.Coffee to some) owner of Coffee Enterprise, I decided to test the market with my monoprint coffee note cards and had a lot of fun while receiving feedback. A great beginning!  Both Grounds for Health and Food4Farmers were there to receive the benefits of future card sales.

What does this have to do with SCAA? A bed in the lobby of the Westin Seaport? We will never tell, write your own ending!

Grand Opening at Dartmouth-Hitchcock

I was thrilled to finally see my work up on the walls of the brand-spanking-new Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center building on Heater Road in Lebanon, NH.

Casey Blanchard, Artist and Elisabeth Gordon, Program Coordinator for DHMC Arts

My art is now featured in their permanent collection and can be seen in the Reception Room on Level 2, right off the Main Entry.

The brand new building

It's really wonderful to be making a niche in the Healthcare Industry. I keep a sticky note by my desk to remind myself that "As artists we cant fix healthcare, but we can mend its spirit"

Thank you to Elisabeth and everyone at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, for recognizing the importance of art in healing environments. I am so grateful that my monoprints will be supportive to patients and staff who find themselves in need of contemplation and inner reflection on the path of healing.

Heading Towards Healthcare

IngMar Medical Informational Pamphlet

I am so pleased that my art is finding its way into healthcare. I have decided that this path is one that I want to focus my energies on, and each step is incredibly fulfilling.

I have even created a new tailored statement and resume that is healthcare oriented.
