These maps were a result of Dr. I focus on unexpected historical events. For example, when we study the Indian Removal, we focus on those Appalachians who opposed the removal and even hid Cherokee so they could avoid the removal.

And that the Cherokee are the first Appalachians. I asked Bobby to tell me a bit more about the maps. They also serve as a bonding element for students as they share where they are from. He saved over 7, of the maps students drew, over of which are now made available to view through Mappalachia , a website designed through a course taught by Dr.

Jan Pearce and Dr. Creating this map revived so many happy memories of places and people that make this little town I live in feel like home. This exercise is cathartic, rooting you to a sense of place.

I encourage everyone, from Appalachia or not, to participate and make their own map of home. The instructions are below. If you post your map to social media, please tag us ljac or mappalachia. Have fun! This November, we were honored to host a beloved local artist, Laura Poulette, for a Dinner on the Grounds. Laura draws inspiration for her work from the incredible biodiversity right here in Appalachia.

As a fellow artist, this particular Dinner on the Grounds holds a special place in my heart. Even before her presentation began I knew we were kindred spirits. In preparation for the event, she placed several nature knick-knacks such as chestnuts, gingko leaves, feathers, and pieces of cedar wood on each table.

My own coat pockets at the time were full of acorns and pebbles of my own, and I was delighted to find someone else who shares my appreciation for the little things in life. Laura talked about her path toward becoming an artist, her creative process and offered advice for other creatives such as myself. I loved her story about how her unique artistic style was born.

She had gone for a winter stroll, and the absence of the elaborate foliage and colors of spring, she was able to take notice of the more subtle colors of winter. Inspired, she began to collect pieces of wood varying in color, which on their own were unextraordinary, but when she aligned them together by color they made a beautiful rustic rainbow.

Her ability to recognize beauty in her natural surroundings and help others see it too is truly remarkable. I was not the only one who was inspired by her work. Praise the name. Let us each take time to go for daily walks in this beautiful land that surrounds us.

Let us stop and notice our surroundings with fresh eyes, taking nothing for granted. Let us open our hearts and minds to the hundreds of creative opportunities at our fingertips and take the time to make something new. My brain is a constant swirling whirlpool of ideas and hair-brained schemes. Hundreds and thousands of ideas are floating around in there and most never make it to fruition, but every now and then, one lucky idea gets plucked out of the mix to be examined, polished and made into a reality.

This is exactly what happened with this idea to create an exhibit of picture book protagonists in the Loyal Jones Appalachian Center. With the help of the Appalachian Center Curator, Chris Miller, and Student Curator, Magenta Palo, this idea grew into a project that would exceed my wildest expectations. Picture books have always had a special place in my heart.
