The Art of Letter, Word & Book

Janet Self is a self-taught artist with a passion for community and creativity; painting and sculpture are key with the scale of work growing. She leads Flockworks, a non-profit supporting the creative spirit of community. Working with children and adults, she fosters imagination and a playful love of art. Her art explores "being part of something big".

Flockworks builds community through creativity at Oddfellows, a community exhibit series hosted in Mendocino. Children's banner projects take art to schools, organizations and events. Noyo Printworks is an artist led community studio at 215 Laurel St Fort Bragg devoted to letterpress, printmaking and book arts.

Amie McGee is on the Mendocino Coast Writers Conference board. She is also the Treasurer for the California Writers Club, Mendocino Coast branch and was the editor of their 2014 Anthology,Upwelling.
    She submitted this blog post.

Curated by Janet Self, Flockworks’ 4th Annual “Art of Letter, Word & Book” exhibit at OddFellows Gallery in Mendocino this past May was inspiring and fun. Artists and authors alike joined to celebrate the written word with Bookmobiles, Word Journeys, and an overall appreciation of letters.
     Janet's imagination is brilliant and awe inspiring. She contributes stunning pieces to the MCWC event every year, and we are lucky to have them! Don’t miss the 5th Annual Art of Letter, Word & Book exhibit in 2017. Rumor has it the derby is going to the streets!
