Artist Statement
In the summer of 2016, I joined Boulder County AIDS Project’s Atlas program in its mission to help end the transmission of HIV within Colorado communities. After volunteering for a number of years, I was hired as BCAP’s Business Manager and in-house graphic designer. My time at BCAP has helped shape my professional career and encouraged me to become a more engaged, caring community member.
When conceptualizing the Birds of the Rocky Mountains card collection, I was inspired by the diversity of birds within my home state of Colorado. Birds are such magnificent creatures, and it was a true joy studying the plumage, color, and structure of the birds featured in this set. I am excited to lend my creative talents to lift up and support Boulder County AIDS Project and its mission through this fundraising campaign. In purchasing these cards, I hope you find joy in knowing you are supporting an organization that serves thousands of people living with or at risk of acquiring HIV in many Colorado communities.
