SAM’d and Deliver!
I’ve been doing the Summer Art Market- “SAM” -for 30 years, give or take. It’s work, but is fun. It provides steady sales, real outreach to a large art loving public, and a great social event. It’s spacious and most are there to talk art. The prices remain well below gallery prices. As long as…

Summer Art Market 2024
Don’t Box Me In After a very busy Spring that included MoPrint and a death in the family, I recently did Summer Art Market. SAM is both a big party/social event, and a grind as the years lengthen, which is why it’s my only truly large show left. I do enjoy seeing everyone ( and…

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…

Twigs and Berries: Life’s Been Berry Good
I have the luxury of time lately, which is very good for art. A regular studio routine is great for following up on ideas, and midweek days to work on framing, etc, without feeling rushed or stressed by deadlines, makes one feel more professional. The weather has been vivid. I’m taking more walks, looking at…

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…

Twigs and Berries
Very busy with MoPrint doings, as this is crunch time for planning and publicizing. I will post a full update soon, but here’s a few teasers: I’m jurying a print show at Core Gallery. Would love to see your work! Insider’s tip: I do have a bias for strong graphic work, I can’t help it.…

Twigs and Berries
It’s ironic to note that as the reopening of quarantined restaurants, bars and businesses presents options for going out after a long lockdown, the heat has made leaving the house quite unappealing. Viruses and global warming have made our world resemble a Steve Erickson novel. My own narrative this Winter/Spring has included a health issue-…
