“July’s Harvest” – Starr Weems

Hello:

I am an Alabama artist who creates dreamlike watercolors that incorporate various types of jars. I paint memories of my childhood in the Deep South. These memories include vibrant jars of produce cooling on my great-grandmother’s windowsills and falling asleep on summer evenings by the light of a Mason jar sparkling with fireflies. I would like information on being featured in your publication (Bottles and Extras) and on how to submit images of my work for consideration. For your convenience, I am including a resume and several sample images.

Thank you,

Starr Weems
