We’re in the News Again!
We’re in the news again; this time in Maine Women Magazine. Our T-shirt screen printer Hope Rovelto was featured in their October 2020 edition. The story entitled Hope Rovelto and the Little Chair Printing Company can be found on pages 14-15. For those who are interested and are unable to get a copy of the printed edition, email me at womenmindthewater@comcast.net and I’ll send you a pdf. And, for those who missed earlier news, there was a very nice article about Women Mind the Water in the September 8 online version of The Forecaster. This article by Alex Lear discusses the work Women Mind the Water is doing to celebrate the bond between women, water and storytelling noting that “in creating Women Mind the Water, she [Pam Ferris-Olson] has offered a forum that encourages collaboration among women.”
Episode 3 of the Women Mind the Water Podcast is now on our website and an audio-only version is available on iTunes. Jill is an accomplished climate change artist with degrees in Earth and Climate Science and Studio Art. She’s done field work on glaciers in Antarctica and in Washington State. As a climate-change artist, Jill creates watercolors that convey climate change data in a compelling way. Her glacier-inspired work entitled Currents, depicting global climate change over two centuries, was on the cover of the July 2020 issue of Time.
In the upcoming Episode 4 of our podcast series, we will feature Michelle Lee Provençal, a fiber artist whose needle-felted designs draw upon her deep connection to the Maine coast. Michelle has an industrial design degree from Pratt and done in-house design for such companies as Macy's, Coach, and Pottery Barn.
With the holiday shopping season fast approaching, I hope you will consider purchasing a print or a t-shirt from our shop. Proceeds go to the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life at the New England Aquarium, a non-profit that conducts research aimed at seeking solutions to mitigate human impacts on the ocean.
I hope you will visit the Women Mind the Water website often. Recommend the site to others. Email me at womenmindthewater@comcast.net if you have suggestions for a podcast or would like to discuss collaboration.
