Greenwoman Magazine
This is the first issue of Greenwoman Magazine, which began in 2010. It is a biannual publication for adults, a collection of garden writing that includes: fiction, creative nonfiction, biography, interviews, comics, and poetry.
The cover of issue #1 was created by Paul Spielman and features the author's daughter Zora (who is also the Deputy Editor of the magazine), Zora's best friend, Ethan Burke, and some of the plants at the Vermijo Community Garden. (The chicken, Mrs. Raccoon, a Bearded Araucana, was borrowed from a gardener for the photo shoot.)

Greenwoman Publishing's Logo
Greenwoman Publishing's logo was inspired by antique drawings of the legendary Picts—the Celts who painted their bodies before going into battle. The warrior-soul, the natural/celestial designs, the beautiful ferocity, all of it resonated with Sandra when she was looking for the perfect image for her publishing venture. She said she thought, here was a female who could represent Greenwoman!
