Adjoa Skinner, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and Summer 2010 Avocado Jungle Artist In Residence.

We’d like to take a little space on the site to welcome our new Artist In Residence. Singer, songwriter, guitarist, pianist, and percussionist Adjoa Skinner will be with us throughout the summer introducing us to new artists and taking on some fun and ambitious projects. You can read more about her on our Artist In Residence page, or visit her own site at adjoaskinner.com. Find her music at myspace.com/adjoaskinner and youtube.com/adjoamusic. You can hear her quiet and beautiful tune “Never” in our Arts & Culture section.

Angela Richelle, photographer and Spring 2010 Avocado Jungle Artist In Residence.

We also need to thank our outgoing (and first ever) Artist In Residence, Angela Richelle, for providing us with some beautiful photography and for being the brave guinea pig in an ambitious new program. We hope to have the pleasure of working with you again, Angie, and best of luck! For those in need of portraits or event photography, please take a look at Angie’s work on the site of her business, IlluminEssence.
