Last Thursday the Lady Bird Studio was among the many structures that burned in the devastating Camp Fire. We are a collective of four friends, creatives, artists and activists who shared a workspace. Our studio was located in the beautiful town of Paradise, 15 minutes from Chico up in the foothills between the deep canyons of the Feather River and Butte Creek. 

In addition to the structure, furnishings and equipment we lost over a decade of creative work which naturally can never be replaced, certainly our greatest loss. Like many in our community we are reaching out to our friends to help us recover some of our losses. 

This fund is for Melanie Merlo, Danielle Padgett, Serine Goodmond and Jenelle Kapellas. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and thank you in advance for spreading the word and donating.
