The striking cover art for the Fall 2023 Guide is by Sol Anzorena. Currently dividing her time between Kansas City and her forest retreat in Upper Peninsula Michigan, Sol is an eco-friendly artist, muralist, musician and jewelry maker originally from Argentina. “My work centers principally around Nature and the restoration of harmony in our relationship to Her. So that my art remains consistent with my values, I employ eco-friendly, vegan and upcycled materials to make my pieces. In the act of making beautiful art, I believe we must not contaminate the very Earth which inspired that beauty.” Anzorena’s art on the cover of this issue are excerpts from her murals that will soon grace one of the Library courier trucks (see page 2 of the Fall Guide to learn more about this project).
