If you missed out on the first Postcards Never Sent gallery, do not worry. There is a small portion of the collection up for display at the Ethan Allen Center, 298 College St., Burlington, VT.

The display is a part of the Dimensions exhibit being held by Champlain’s MakerLab. The exhibit includes work done by Champlain graphic design students and the Sandbox team…

Currently Working on the Postcards Never Sent Store! Due to upcoming exhibits, only a select few of the collection will be up for sale at this time.

There Are Heroes Amongst Us

Postcards Never Sent is the sort of project that does not exist because of me. I am just a girl with a camera and an idea. However, there are people who exist that put kindle into the fire, wind into the sails, the eggs in the brownie mix.

There are the submitters for whom proved me wrong. I thought no one would want to give me their words. I was asking complete…

Throwback Thursday! Here are the Postcards Never Sent gallery photos from talented Jessica Demarest.

Here’s a throwback Thursday to the first ever Postcards Never Sent gallery, sponsored by Champlain Books. All photographs featured were taken by Champlain College student, Jessica Demarest.

Once again, I would like to thank everyone who attended the event, submitted a secret, or purchased a Postcards Never Sent catalog.

Stay tuned for future events as well as an online store!

Thanks to my wonderful friend Molly for this amazing photograph of me with one of my displays at the first Postcards Never Sent gallery.

I had an amazing night with friends, family, and the community to celebrate the secrets of Burlington and my photographs.

Postcards Never Sent is a on-going project dedicated to the words we have always wanted to say, but never had the chance to.

Postcards Never Sent is a project dedicated to the unspoken words that were never given the chance to see the light of day. Inside are the anonymous secrets of strangers paired with the original photography of artist Amanda Schroth.

Postcards Never Sent was a success. Over sixty people arrived to the event that showcased the original photography of artist Amanda Schroth paired alongside the anonymous submissions of Burlington residents.

The submissions consisted of things people have always wanted to say, but never had the chance or courage to do so.

All of the print catalogs were sold out, but you still have the opportunity to purchase the book on the Champlain Books page.

In the week leading up to the Postcards Never Sent gallery, I have experienced an array of opportunities and excitements.

  It started on Friday morning, when I learned that Mary Williams at Vermont Public Radio was interested in interviewing me for her segment “Art Hounds.”

Early Tuesday morning, Cindy Barnes and I arrived at VPR for my interview. I sat down with…

Two Weeks and Counting…

Today is March 21, 2015.

But that’s not the important thing.

What is important about this day is that it marks two weeks until my first gallery on April 4th.

In a way, this is an overwhelming feeling, sort of like Monica Gellar in “The One with the Lesbian Wedding.”

“Anyway, see, I planned everything really well. I planned and I planned and I planned. It just turns out, I don’t think I planned…

April 4th is coming, but I'm too excited not to share at least one postcard with you. So here it is!

April 4th is right around the corner, which means there’s still a lot of tasks at hand.

While everyone else is waiting in anticipation for the Burlington Bound gallery, I will be busy promoting the work, planning the gallery set-up, and preparing all of the photographs for display.

Luckily, I will have the help of Cindy Barnes and Kim MacQueen of Champlain Books, a division of Barnes MacQueen…

Only a month until the first ever Postcards Never Sent gallery. If you haven’t had the chance to RSVP, go to the event’s Facebook page here.

To fill everyone in on what’s been happening, I received over sixty-six submissions from November 2014-February 2015. That’s a lot of photos.

I chose to print on a special type of paper. The brand is Ilford Multigrade FB Warmtone, Semi-Matt and 5x7in.
