I was so excited to work with BOUNCE USA to create an interactive mixed-media art piece for the TEDxBend 2015 conference this April. I built a custom 5 ft x 5 ft canvas that I painted with their "GRAB LIFE" tag line. I'm a huge fan of their all natural energy balls and shakes, I also adore the husband and wife team that cofounded the company, Mr. and Mrs. Bounce, Andy and Paula.

During the conference we asked attendees how they "Grab Life." As they wrote their answers and thoughts on strips of my hand painted paper, I applied them to the painting with Mod Podge. The end result was a beautiful, colorful, and authentic piece of artwork that we hung up at the BOUNCE headquarters here in downtown Bend.
