Happy birthday Maya Angelou. “Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud. If you don't like something, change it. If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love. My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” #mayaangelou

Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (July 16, 1862 – March 25, 1931), more commonly known as Ida B. Wells, was an African-American journalist, newspaper editor, suffragist, sociologist, feminist, Georgist, and an early leader in the Civil Rights Movement. She was one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909. The murder of her friends drove Wells to research and document lynchings and their causes. She published her findings in a pamphlet entitled "Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases." She followed this with an editorial that suggested that unlike the myth that white women were sexually at risk of attacks by black men, most liaisons between black men and white women were consensual. #idabwells

March artist in residency @sammofarrell is an artist working predominantly with ceramics. Her most recent works are a humorous approach to the hobbyist culture of craft. Pointedly and playfully referencing ceramic archetypes, her work mediates objects and images by using loose sculptural forms merged with found imagery that gestures toward magic and folklore.

Thank you @harrietleemerrion for being our February resident. See you next year! Harriet Lee-Merrion is a British illustrator. Her work is rendered in a wash of pastel colors and delicate black lines influenced by botanical engravings, surrealism and Japanese woodblock prints, often depicting dreamlike and surreal imagery.
