Magic Sprinkles

You can now purchase Magic Sprinkles, Cherry Press' fabulously fragrant Mediterranean citrus hand sanitizer from me and at the Bennington Bookstore and on the College Bookstore's website.

You use a lot of hand sanitizer working on a college campus during a pandemic.  Tired of horrible-smelling sprays and gels, I set out to create a pleasantly-scented, portable disinfectant.

I was inspired by the redolence of cold-pressed lemon oil, an active ingredient in Lemon Plate Cleaner (LPC).  LPC is a non-toxic replacement for lithographic Finisher Preserver Cleaner that I developed here,

Summer Projects

on Wed, 01/26/2022 - 22:14

This summer I have been working on some exciting collaborative printing projects, including a screen print with the delightful Farhad Mirza...stay tuned!  Over this continued period of chosen quiet time (classes are on hold while the pandemic pervades), I've also renovated the studio downstairs darkroom/ litho graining area and taken a long and interesting trip down memory lane while re-organizing the flat files!  Lots of rabbits around this summer, this one likes to visit outside the studio windows and has come back since with its baby rabbit.

Broadway Blooms Editions

In May 2020, British sculptor Jon Isherwood and I completed a series of three silkscreen editions to compliment the planned installation date of his Broadway Blooms.  Delayed by trans-oceanic supply-chain congestion, on  August 2, 2021, the Broadway Mall Association launched Broadway Blooms: Jon Isherwood on Broadway, a sculpture exhibition at eight locations on the green malls at the center of Broadway from 64th Street to 157th Street.

Jon Isherwood: Silkscreen Monoprints

on Wed, 01/26/2022 - 18:05

Last winter and spring I had the pleasure of collaborating on a series of seven silkscreen monoprints with British sculptor Jon Isherwood.  Jon's fantastic, large-scale, Italian marble sculptures can be seen world-wide and his Broadway Blooms are gracing eight locations along the Broadway Malls between 64th and 157th Streets in New York City through spring of 2022.  Jon's painterly, experimental approach and lively temperament made this project a treat to work on.

      
     
     

A Change in the Light - Exhibition at The Clark

on Tue, 03/02/2021 - 00:26

On View: February 13 - May 16, 2021

I was invited by the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, MA to create several cliché-verre plates to illustrate each step for two processes, one which uses lithographic ink and the other oil paint as the bases of the photographic glass negatives.  The plates were then printed by photographer Jonathan Kline on light-sensitive photo paper using archival processes.  The plates and prints can be seen in the didactic display case of this exhibition.

Here is a description of the exhibition below, from The Clark's website.
