The community response to the Napa Quake Mosaic has been phenomenal in so many ways! I am beyond grateful to so many people who have helped bring this project to life. Here are just a few of the incredible folks who've made this project happen:
Giada and Lori Parise: This mom-daughter powerhouse team has been helping all summer with all the studio work!
Jeni Olson, founder of TeensConnect, not only sorts the brown treasures at the studio, but organizes teen meet-ups for groups of youth to come work on the project as well
And the Paulas, pictured here with the CIA students who created a dish inspired by the Quake Mosaic: Paula Brutocao (L) and Paula Philipps (R), who have both been AMAZING regular volunteers and generous supporters
Anne Pentland, one of the super talented artists and teachers at Nimbus, who has helped manage the public workshops. Her community-built mosaic experience and technical advice has been instrumental! There, but not pictured, the rest of amazing ladies of Nimbus, Sandra Cruz and Jamie Graff
