Prints 2024

The Flat File Project at Zea Mays Studio in Florence, MA, where I have taught workshops, is comprised of individual portfolios of juried prints from studio members, selected biannually.

Prints 2022–2023

In late October 2023, I and 8 other American artists had an immersive cultural experience collaborating with Cuban Printmakers at the Taller De Experimental de Grafica in Havana, Cuba.

During the Winter of 2023 I was involved in a collaborative project with artists at the Zea Mays Printmaking Studio in Florence, MA to fashion an ICE SHANTY for the Artful Ice Shanties competition at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center in Brattleboro, Vermont. 

The Paper Boats Flotilla, exhibited at the Gallery of Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy, is another inspiring collaborative project from the Los Angeles Print Society that I had the opportunity to participate in during the winter of 2022. This is an ongoing project that will grow at each installation.

Prints 2018-2019

In the past year I have joined 2 print organizations: Los Angeles Printmaking Society (LAPS), and Zea Mays Print Studio in Florence, Massachusetts. It is inspiring to be involved even from afar in larger print communities. 

Zea Mays is a studio where I have taught workshops and am pleased to be a supporting member involved in their Flat File project where a portfolio of my work is available for viewing and sale.

Through LAPS I have been involved in the Im/Migrations project where people were invited to create triangular prints of a certain dimension on the topics of Migration, Immigration or however one might want to riff on those ideas. Inspired by a lovely book on the Sufi parable “The Conference of Birds” I made woodblocks of flocks of small, migrating birds. These triangular prints were assembled into large quilt installations and have been exhibited at the Venice Biennale, Southern Graphics Council conferences, and in 2020, Self Help Graphics in LA.
