Katie is turning heads by creating the Kiwi Coffin Club -- a place where people can come together in a community and design their own coffins, with the help of people in the Club.

  • Mary Giehl -- Social Activist Artist and Avid Rock Climber at 65
    Mary Giehl's art echoes themes that she had encountered through her work experience as a Registered Nurse in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. She often cared for children after they had been abused and much of her work focuses around this theme. There are hints of darkness and confinement in her installations, along with a mixture and balance of playfulness and seriousness. Mary is also a dedicated rock climber, and creates dramatic spandex costumes for her nephew who is a semi-professional wrestler called Dalton Castle for Ring of Honor Wrestling. Some of her work can be seen at https://marygiehl.com/
