Artist: Emily Bessette
Art named: The RBG
                    
Emily Bessette taps into the power of the subconscious mind to create new worlds through the art in which she creates. Blending mediums such as airbrush, colored pencil, paint, digital art, animation and more, a personal style has formed throughout the years that is uniquely hers. Her art is a self reflection of her inner mind’s eye that channels the inner child and outer worldly challenges. Born and raised in Rifle Colorado, Emily started her artistic journey at a young age putting graphite to paper. She now owns and operates her business, Bran3world®, out of Denver Colorado sharing her art with the world through means of screen printing, album artworks, fashion design, murals, animation, motion graphics, and fine art.

Join our 5th edition Dungeons & Dragons group for adults, set in the immersive homebrew world of Monea. We’ll meet from 1 to 4 p.m. on the second and fourth Sundays each month at the Rifle Branch Library to explore mysterious realms, uncover ancient secrets, and shape our destiny in a rich and evolving story. New and experienced players are welcome!

The Campaign:

Welcome to the world of Monea, a land shaped by the remnants of a war between the gods and the primordial forces that once threatened the cosmos. Over eons, Monea has flourished, but ancient magic and old rivalries still linger beneath the surface. In this homebrew world, the players will traverse diverse landscapes—from the high mountain city of Balentio, situated on the edge of a bottomless caldera, to the peaceful groves of Willowshade and the floating cities of Aeolus Vale. As they dive deeper, they'll discover the true extent of the conflict that shaped Monea, unraveling forgotten lore that may hold the key to preventing an even greater catastrophe.

Join us for a storytime filled with delightful stories, playful bounces, and engaging songs.
