This summer the Philadelphia Museum of Art is featuring art, textiles, design and architecture from Africa. Starting with a loan exhibition from the Penn Museum’s distinguished collection of African materials, the exhibits feature contemporary photography, fashion, textile design, and architecture, as well as traditional textiles and ritual objects. I know almost nothing about Africa, so I learned much about the people and culture of this fascinating continent.
Scribbled Triangles, monotype print available in my Etsy Shop
I’ve added a series of 5 monotypes to my Etsy Shop. I was inspired by two things: the current MoMA exhibit on Degas and his monotypes, and a recent workshop at Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
My piece, Vibrating Triangles (Gray on Black), won an Honorable Mention award at Trenton Artworks 3rd Annual Print Exhibition. This is the piece I wrote about last month as I was framing it for the show.
Strips of acid-free backing board glued into position. The strips hold the glass in place and create a shadow box so the print can be mounted floating free without a mat.
I've been framing a new piece that was recently accepted in to the Third Annual Juried Print Exhibition at Artworks Trenton. I have to deliver it this week, so it's been on the work table in the studio.
All the paper, inks, and tools you need are included in the lab fees. Buy the supplies you want to use at home afer you learn to use them in class.
Come learn easy ways to make prints in class and at home. You'll learn to print without a press using easy and safe printing techniques that are non-toxic and water based. I'll show you simple techniques you can continue at home on your own kitchen table. You'll learn simple printing methods that will express your artistic creativity. You'll see lots of examples of prints by well-known artists as well as previous student work We'll look at our work and learn from each other in a welcoming community environment.
Three of my new constructed collage pieces were juried into Creative Tension 2015, an exhibition at Perkins Center for the Arts. The juror was Kirsten M. Jensen, PhD, Senior Curator of Exhibitions at the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA. She selected all three of my entries, and gave a Juror’s Award to Bounty’s Glow. She also accepted Gray Frame / Foggy Sky, and Yellow Lights / Pink Sky. I have been entering this show for several years. I started getting accepted about 5 years ago. I’m very honored and excited to receive my first award in this show.
The exhibition will be on view through December 6 at Perkins Center for the Arts, 395 Kings Highway (Main St.), Moorestown, NJ 08057.
