6 PM DINNER: Taco Night! Chicken, steak, and pulled pork, gluten free, and vegan options. Honduran shade-grown, organic hot coffee is also served.
7 PM PROGRAM: Join us to hear an inspiring redemption story and its connection to a JVAS member’s path to nature journaling. Denice Rodaniche’s journey to watercolor journaling was a circuitous one. Marrying a still life artist and marine biologist in Panama cultivated her love of art, but career and family took priority. Denice will share the story of Arcadio Rodaniche’s groundbreaking research of a little-known octopus and how recognition of his findings came just before his untimely death in 2016.
Nature journaling became Denice’s lifeline for dealing with grief by finding joy in the natural world around her.
