This year’s Parkside National Small Print Exhibition opens on Sunday, January 20 from 1-4 pm. Karla Hackenmiller was the juror; and, she selected 100 prints out of over 900 from around the nation. I got one piece into the show!
Although I will not be at the opening, you should definitely check out the exhibit if you are in the area. It looks to be one of the strongest small print exhibitions that Parkside has had since I started going to the exhibit in 1991. The exhibition catalog is online! The exhibition runs from January 20 until February 21.
Doug DeVinny curated an exhibition of Portfolio Exchanges at UW-Parkside with the help of Lisa Bigalke and myself called Shared Inspiration: The Art of the Exchange Portfolio. This exhibition contains many portfolios including all three that I organized. They are called Old School: UW-Parkside’s First Alumni Exchange; Hidden Treasures: Women in Print; and Ohio University’s Alumni Exchange, 2005.
The exhibition can be viewed at the Communication Arts Gallery, UW-Parkside, from September 4 through September 27.
A four person, group exhibition will be on exhibition at Gallery 110 North in Plymouth, Wisconsin. This exhibition is called Transforming Spaces and includes the work of Connie Wolfe, Tim Abel, Beki Borman, and Crystal McCann. It will be opening on October 5, with an artist reception that evening. The show closes on December 2.
I will have 15 pieces in this exhibition including works inspired from Ohio, London, and Pennsylvania. The processes utilized in these works include: hand-made paper, monotype, and chalk pastel drawing. There are many layers of color involved in this work that are enhanced by the texture of the paper. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the opening. If you are in Wisconsin and are able to go, please take photos for me!

I participated in a one-month residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson Vermont. There were two other printmakers and many painters, sculptors, and writers invited to spend time focusing on creative works. While there, I worked on finishing pieces for a solo exhbition and began a new direction in my art. I found the uninterrupted time to be quite productive and finished 31 pieces there. The new work can be found on my flickr page.
