Shortly after The Fold launched in July, friend and owner Seattle's Ghost Gallery, Laurie Kearney, reached out to ask if I would be interested in co-curating an exhibit at her space highlighting art and artists from the site. I immediately said "yes," as sharing the talents of anyone who makes The Fold possible is one of my greatest pleasures.

Last week The Fold Exhibit opened to the public. If located in or visiting Seattle, you can view the works of Hardie Cobbs, Rachel Demy, Rosie Bowker and Teresa Grasseschi at the Ghost Gallery through November 11.

All pieces may also be purchased directly from the gallery via their website, so whether you've been eyeing the whimsical watercolors in our monthly astrology column or admiring a particular one of the vibrant collages that accompanies our Music or Motherhood posts, you can now bring these special pieces into your home. Below are just a few of our favorites...
