We are a jeep tour, called Jammin Jeep Tours on St. Thomas, USVI and many of our guests have loved staying in touch with us throughout the years.  So as a way to stay in touch, or a way to share our island with people dreaming of visiting, we started our Jammin Snail Mail Club.

## Portals of Place Mail Art Club
*alchemizing climate dread into love letters to earth*

Each portal is dedicated to a different landscape that I have personally sat with a watercolor painted in one sitting, on location. I then risograph print each painting, write a love letter to the land or speculative futures short story, research the waterways, plants, animals, and invite the indigenous peoples of that land to write a land acknowledgment and send that 'portal of place' to your doorstep. A full moon reminder to feel curiosity and reverence towards this strange and beautiful planet we are on. 

Each portal is dedicated to a different place that I have personally sat with and painted, on location, in one sitting.

I started plein air painting as a meditative practice. A moment to quiet my anxious mind, to sit still with the land and deeply observe the textures of bark and leaves, how the colors change in the light.

I started painting watercolor cards in high school. I’d approach my teachers and classmates with a punny set of designs and take custom orders before holidays.

There’s something so special about my art being the vehicle for messages of love - to a crush or lover on valentine’s day, to a grandmother on mother’s day. Those written down words of affirmation can be read and experienced over and over again without the giver being present.

And now that we continue to wake up in a world that is changing, melting, and desertifying faster than we know how to make sense of or feel about it, I’m writing love letters and paintings to earth and sending them to mailboxes, as a portals of place ~ a full moon ritual to create moments of remembrance and curiosity.
