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…

Close Your Eyes and Think of Besties
Over their long rich, history, the Besties have established a tradition of… um, being 3 years old and changing in format every time.

What is the end game in the studio? Sometimes a deadline will bring focus, leading to a well resolved work, sometimes it inhibits experimentation, bringing repetitive ideas. I guess both- experimentation and production, are important. At this time, I’m trying to produce new work for the upcoming MoPrint ’22, which will bring show opportunities, if…

Reading Edge:
An extended period of downtime following a very successful Summer Art Market, and the end of my part time day job in a college bookstore is to blame for a lengthy lack of posts. This list of abbreviated book blurbs is a pretty good summary of what I’ve been up to as I emptied out…

SAM Wrap
The Summer Art Market returned, about 14 months late, after the COVID shutdown. People were clearly glad to see it come back. Attendance was crowded on Saturday morning, and steady for the rest of the weekend, with only the afternoon heat really slowing things down. The sales were strong for most artists I spoke to.…
