Update on Mattea Kirkwood's Book

Prairie Petals

Mattea Kirkwood, Art Education major, recently exhibited her body of research title Prairie Petals at the Memorial Union Gallery. Her exhibition included watercolors featuring local and exotic flowers that you can make teas from. She also published a book that included the watercolors, recipes and health benefits of those teas. The run of her book, 25 + copies, recently sold out while on exhibition. In addition to individual sales, Community and Belonging bought all her remaining copies as gifts for graduating indigenous seniors. Congratulations to Mattea and looking forward to the second run of her recipe book!
