Issue 5, Love Letter from the Editor

Mercedes Arnold, Creator + Editor in Chief

Welcome to 2023. I feel like we are entering an era of the continued embracing of individuality, femininity, creativity, and collaboration. This month’s issue interviewees seems to track with this era. With Floral Designer Michelle Rech and Artist Hannah Hirsch collaborating with each other and, in turn with Maine Vibes Magazine, to create our spectacular, insane, gorgeous cover for Issue 5.

Coming together with Michelle and Hannah to create this cover felt like getting together with old friends who shine individually, and when brought together make pure magic. It’s a beautiful thing to watch creatives in their element. It’s like they are aligned with their being and high on creativity. More of this in 2023, please.

As always, thank you for reading and enjoy Issue 5!
