SPRING 2023 NEWSLETTER
Greetings friends,
A lot has happened in the last year. In August I bought a new press and now am able to have all my printmaking in one building, one room for carving, the other for printing. My beginning in printmaking started in high school, so it's come a long way. I owe a debt of gratitude to all those that helped me get here - Conrad Machine, Acuity Paper, McClain's Printmaking Supplies, everyone at Tri-Dee Arts, fellow artists and galleries, my customers and friends, my little apprentice, of course my family and let's not forget the dogs!
I have been showing at the Lido Collective in downtown Mount Vernon since last April. This non-profit arts shop sponsored by the Mount Vernon Downtown Association is a great addition to downtown.
In September I joined the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Artists, was in their fall show at the Matzke Gallery on Camano Island, and in March they accepted me as a signature artist. You can see some of my work in their Savor Online gallery, and I have a piece in the current Light and Renewal show at Blakely Hall in Issaquah.
Tonight the Rexville Grange Art Show begins with an opening party. This event is always fun, with quality art. It runs until April 16, the height of the Skagit tulip viewing season. My four panels are hung with prints and ready to go.
Within the next week, the new banners from the Mount Vernon Arts Commission contest will be hung along the Mount Vernon Riverwalk. I'm happy to say that five of them are my images. The riverwalk has done a lot for the Mount Vernon and Skagit County community, and is a great place for art.
Next Thursday is the opening for the Jansen Art Center's spring show. My show is called Skagit Valley in Color and will be in the Fine Arts Gallery on the main floor.The show will be up until July 7. The Jansen does a lot for the arts and the community, and I am proud to show there.
The third weekend of July brings the Northwest Art Beat Studio Tour, a chance to visit my studio in Mount Vernon and others in Skagit County. I will also have two pieces in the Anacortes Arts Festival juried show, Arts at the Port, at the end of July into August.
That's it for now. I hope to see you at some of these events. If you want to contact me, there is an email button on my website, and also a contact form to join the quarterly newsletter. We are making the website ready to sell prints online - just prints, not framed.
Thanks for your presence, feel free to share this.
