UPPERCASE Magazine, issue #10

Here is the article in Uppercase that I had mentioned earlier.  Still so excited to see my work and process in print- in such a fine magazine, no less.  What I really love, is how Janine decided to focus on the printmaking process and all the fussy details.  I might use this article quite a bit to help explain what I do and how I do it. 

Poem & Print with Jane Lind

I am a big fan of Jane Lind's writing and want to share here a poem that she gave me during a session of printmaking lessons I was giving her in my studio a couple of weeks ago.  The poem was

inspired by a work of mine she had purchased from my show 'sweet nothings' at AWOL gallery during Printopolis last Autumn.  The work is titled the same as the poem,

"Memento- from when you were small"

She sits on a patterned red and blue quilt

spread on green grass

where Sweet Williams bloom.

Butterflies- Monarchs

light on the blossoms.

She chortles with pleasure,

reaches out her hand

but the bright wings

disappear.

The butterfly returns

lights on her dress,

wings forever etched in her memory

on a pink organza summer dress.
