She was able to parlay her deep-rooted skill set into Soca Gallery in 2006 where her collections of art, objects and textiles from past eras and cultures found a home alongside her handmade leather boho inspired handbags and jewelry. In addition to hosting contemporary artist’s exhibitions, fundraisers, and carefully curating objects, Terri Rundle and Cattletrack Press co-published a signed, limited edition, contemplative art book by John J. Moore, PhD. Letter pressed on natural handmade papers with colorful raw silk covers, the handcrafted books include etchings by Mark McDowell.
