\nCome and make art\nins pired by the work of Idaho artist James Castle. Born in 1889 in\nIdaho’s West Central mountains\, Castle was deaf from birth and never\nlearned to speak. He communicated instead through his artwork\, interpreting\nhis su rroundings with drawings created from found paper and cardboard\, soot\nan d spit\, ink and pigment. Many of his works are imbued with a magical\,\nn arrative quality and\, taken as a whole\, they tell a very particular stor y\nof a life lived entirely in Idaho.
