Peregrine Church: Creator of "Rainworks": Rain Activated Art

"Rainworks gives people a reason to look forward to rainy days! It's going to rain anyway. Why not do something fun with it?"

Peregrine Church is an artist and inventor. His two favorite things are 1) creating novel things, and 2) making people smile, and his current business, Rainworks, combines both by creating uplifting street art that appears on rainy days. Peregrine launched Rainworks with a massively successful viral Kickstarter campaign, and rain activated art can now be found popping up in cities all over the world.
