Common Wonders is looking for a few specific people.

Illustrators who can render organic, figurative, and botanical forms with naturalistic precision and emotional character. If you can make a creature feel alive on paper, I would love to see your work.

Mosaic artists and fabricators with experience in large-scale outdoor public art. If you’ve built things that live outside and last, and know the structural and material demands of permanent installation, let’s talk.

Community facilitators and educators who have experience bringing diverse groups of people into the making of something large and lasting. You know how to put tools in people’s hands and create something worth being proud of together.

Naturalists, ecologists, and anyone who knows the Pacific Northwest forest intimately. If you can tell me something true and extraordinary about an opossum or a banana slug or a pika that I haven’t found yet, please do.

Funders, foundations, and organizations who believe that wonder is not a luxury but a necessity, and who want to help put five mosaic sculptures in the PNW forest where anyone who walks past can meet them eye to eye.

If any of this sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.
