In summer 2011, Lynda Frese, faculty member at UL Lafayette, completed a major gallery project and book, titled Pacha Mama: earth realm, with assistance from a BoRSF ATLAS award. The book includes 30 artworks, Sanskrit prayers, essays about nature from noted healers Kathi von Koerber and Michele Baker, and poetry written for the project by Darrell Bourque, Louisiana’s poet laureate. The series Pacha Mama: earth realm was presented at Red Bud Galley in Houston, Texas in May and will be at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette, Louisiana in November 2011.
