Meet the Artist Meredith Morabito - Wild Chipmunk PhotosMeet the Artist Meredith Morabito - Wild Chipmunk Photos – Meet the Artist Meredith Morabito Just prior to Covid, Meredith noticed a lively scurry of chipmunks frolicking outside her artist studio. One, in particular, would soon become her muse. Meredith and “Cali Bubbleyum” (as the inquisitive chipmunk would come to be known) soon bonded, and an unexpected photography project was born. Meredith lays out elaborate stage sets and waits for Cali to show up and pose appropriately. Thursday, May 18 |

We will build native bee houses while learning about Burger Hill’s pollinator habitat and how to create an inviting space for these important species.
