The Beauty of Flight - Book Release

This book launch of "The Beauty of Flight" by Leena J. Byrd graciously extends the metaphor of birds onto her meticulously prepared pages, nodding to the powerful love of God's nest that was intricately woven for us all along. Join Leena as she finally embraces her calling: "Author Meets Artist Under the Wings of God" and invites attendees to join her in this powerful celebration of flight.

Depending on your ticket level, this eventful launch of a local author will...

• extend a meet and greet with an author signing
• interweave a bird-themed art exhibit with 13+ featured artists
• provide music, drinks, dinner, and dessert
• offer a private reading and keynote from Leena J. Byrd

Leena's love of visual storytelling enhances this special book launch set to take place in the West Wing of Journeyman's Distillery in Valparaiso Indiana. In conjunction with her author unveiling, she will also exhibit three of her painted portraits. Each will contemplate three important themes: Love, Loss, and Light, which she wrestles with inside her memoir. Her combined talent as a writer, designer, and artist sets a wonderful stage for attendees to explore.

Alongside her will be 13+ fellow bird-themed artists whose works will be exhibited as a curated aviary experience for attendees. More artists to be announced soon.
