State of the Art
MoPrint Grows a Medium MoPrint 2024 is finally done now, and there’s a sense of relief for me. It’s hard work, and there are a lot of details and dates to keep track of. Sometimes, I get so busy and tired, I don’t get to see everything I’d like to. This year I did pretty…

Last weekend was the latest, Print Jam at the Denver Art Museum, produced by Month of Printmaking and featuring 14 artists giving demonstrations and drop in workshops, including me.

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…

Under Pressure: Twigs and Berries for a New Decade
The holiday break was brief, as #MoPrint2020 is upon us and I’m up to my neck in the sort of events that that 3-month fiesta of the pressure arts brings us. Call it over commitment, call it opportunism, call it giving in to ‘pressure’. I’m calling it a great source of material for a blog…

I’m also co-teaching a class in large monoprints for Very Special Arts Colorado students with Javier Flores, of VSA and Metro State. It’s been fun,…
