Summer Muse
MoPrint took a bit out of me, blog wise. Its frantic pace stretched into April and I also took May off, mostly. By June, I was back into a regular studio routine, but never picked up the thread here. My latest studio icon is boxes. I sometimes like to take a simple image and explore…

Warming Up at MoPrint
Despite the on again, off again winter weather, MoPrint is off to a great start, and people seem to be eager to see it after 2020 was cancelled, mostly, by the pandemic. I’ve seen several shows already, which is more shows than I probably saw all 2021. ARThropod, Artists on Santa Fe: Carol Till and…

Month of Printmaking 2022
It’s been a busy, snowy run-up to #moprint2022. But the pandemic seems to be easing, at least in the vaccinated parts of the state, so we can keep our fingers crossed that this one will go off as planned, unlike 2020. I committed to a lot of events, which has kept me running, but it’ll…

New Territory
I took, at the invitation of the school, a couple of workshops taught by Henrik Boegh, a Danish Master Printer in non-toxic intaglio. Intaglio is a traditional word for etching- it means, roughly, ‘cutting into’. It’s a different medium than monotype, a very simple process of making an ink picture on a smooth plane and…

Mo’ Activity
My interview with Westword’s Susan Froyd is up on the site today. It’s in association with Month of Printmaking Colorado, along with several other printmakers: Jennifer Ghormley, Taiko Chandler, Sue Oehme. It’s a privilege to be included in this series, and it’s a joy to be involved in the burgeoning Denver printmaking community, which for reasons…

A Place For Us
I wrote this post a year and a half ago, but never published it. It seems to fit in well with the Sgt. Pepper’s 50th Anniversary post of a few weeks ago, so here it is: I made the above etching for very practical reasons- its a small work that might provide a little…

Doings and Viewings, Hodgings and Podgings
I’ve had a busy fall, as noted. Here are some of the things I’m working on. Holiday Shows: Most artists here do at least one holiday show because they sell. Small works go well during the holidays, and $2-300 extra cash during the season is never unwelcome. Small, interesting galleries also depend on this yearly…

Everything’s a Work in Progress
What I have worked on this winter is a small series of work intended to develop organically from sketchbook ideas on up through experiments in different sized paper and eventually to a large, significant, and fully realized work. Especially as I transition to new methods of working such as stencilling, etc, I’ve tended to have…

New Portfolio Page
Today I posted a new page of small works such as etchings and small monotypes to the web site. It felt good to get it done- it’s a simulacrum of sorts of necessary info and images for an upcoming web store, as soon as I research and download the various plug-ins etc. I’m beginning with…
