I'm so proud! The full festive recap from the Sketchbook Dares book launch ART PARTY is now up in my blog. This was so much more fun than the classic book signing, with multiple art stations set up for folks to try as well as other surprises. (This is a close up of the Stylize Dare station...) Thank you everyone for coming out and Artnering with me and sharing your creativity! ✍️🌈🎨 . . . #creativity #art #drawing #sketchbookdares #booklaunch #artistsoninstagram #thebridgepai #artnerdare #drawwithme #artnerlove #drawit #stylized #fruity #artparty #makeart (at The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative)

Putting up some images from Ruddy Roye's workshop with local kids. Come to the Bridge PAI tomorrow night from 6-8pm. Thanks to the Bridge PAI and Ruddy Roye, as well as workshop sponsor Fujifilm and the staff of LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph for making it happen! @ruddyroye @thebridgepai @fujifilm_northamerica @look3festival #look3festival #thebridgepai #ruddyroye #fujifilm #blackandwhite #cville #charlottesville (at The Bridge PAI)

I had the enormous good fortune of spending some time with photographer Ruddy Roye (@ruddyroye) over the past couple of days while helping to facilitate a workshop for kids organized by the Bridge PAI (@thebridgepai) and sponsored by Fujifilm. If you check out his Instagram feed -- and I encourage you to do so -- you'll see that he describes himself as a "Humanist/Activist," and it's a very apt description. He's a fine photographer, but when you spend some time with him, what you notice is his humility, his empathy, and his openness. He thrives on connection, and he is truly inspiring. Thanks to LOOK3 (@look3festival), Fujifilm (@fujifilm_northamerica), and the Bridge PAI for allowing Ruddy to spread some love in our community. #look3festival #ruddyroye #fujifilm #thebridgepai #makeportraits #blackandwhite (at Friendship Court Apartments)
