Denise Koch Gets Her Very Own Salt Box Panel – CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) – WJZ’s Denise Koch will join the salt box club next winter, local artist Juliet Ames revealed Monday.

Ames, who sparked the salt box decorating movement in winter 2020, unveiled the new piece live in the Where’s Marty segment.

“I couldn’t keep you and Bob Turk happy, so I made this for Denise,” she told Marty.

Denise’s panel is based on an Instagram post Denise made about a special light hitting her shoulder during a 6pm performance.

Ames said Denise’s panel will be the first to be posted in November, when box salt season begins again.

Ames decorated a Hampden salt box with broken plates in the winter of 2020, and since then, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a box that doesn’t double as a public art fixture.
