“Yellowed Love Notes” by Susan Walsh
Acrylic, stencil, 12 x 12”, 2015

Susan Walsh lives and works in Eau Claire. She enjoys practicing art and writing in visual journals and occasionally ventures into paint on canvas.

“In 2014 I discovered the world of visual journaling via Pinterest and YouTube. I have always been interested in art since I was a child. Keeping an art journal, or art practice, was intriguing to me. In journals I use markers, collage papers and doodling. I experiment with all types of styles and media; sometimes no more than marker on cardboard. My art time feeds my soul, grounds my worries and clears my head. Practice in my journals helps me to realize what I like for color and composition. When I am happy with a journal spread, I occasionally try again with ‘real’ art supplies such as acrylic paints on canvas.” – The Artist

Volume One finds its cover art in a number of ways, from local art shows to random emails to knowing someone who knows someone who knows a great artist. The art always originates from a current or former Chippewa Valley resident. If you'd like to submit cover art, send us a message.
