Trauma Ramen &
I Am the River
Trauma Ramen & I Am the River are artworks I created in response to the July 10-11, 2023 floods in Montpelier and other Vermont towns. In an extraordinarily devastating turn of events, many Vermont towns once again experienced catastrophic flooding on July 10 & 11 2024.
If either of these pieces is helpful to you, or if you think it would be helpful to others in your life, I invite you to download, print, or otherwise share them as widely as you would like. I will also have them availalbe wherever I am vending in the future.
If you are able to offer financial support to residents of Plainfield, VT, who have lost their homes in the recent floods, you can do so here.

Story Calendar
