April News Flash
Athenaeum Music & Arts Library:
In celebration of their recent publication, Selections from the Permanent Collection, 1990-2010, the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library requested I sign a stack of books for their archives to add to the other artist signatures during my recent visit to the library. My painting, seen above on the page of the book, is a part of their permanent collection at the Library along with a second piece that was commissioned by the Athenaeum and featured on the 2011/2012 concert series program cover. The book consists of artwork from 40 artists with pieces in their permanent collection and who have had solo exhibitions at the Athenaeum in the past 20 years.
Commissions:
As I continue to work on the Chicago family commission that began in January, I am eager to share my progress and describe my process. Currently, all 4 family members are now carved, the 4 by 6 foot canvas is prepared and has several drawing layers and many polymer layers. Now it is time to begin the printmaking onto the canvas. Below is a photo of cropped images of the four individual members.
Collaborations:
Australian artist and colleague Carole Best and myself have embarked on many collaborations over the years. Our most recent project that many of you may have seen was the creation of a video blog as we worked together this past summer. We have co-authored several books including the Champagne Book pictured below which will now be sold at the Duluth Art Institute (DAI)! This little book chronicles their month of painting and champagne in 2003. It will be sold alongside my newest note cards at the DAI gift shop. I am excited to report that we are collaborating once again in the creation of a suite of portraits, painting in turns layer by layer, shipping it halfway across the world during the process! I am always eager to receive the trans Atlantic package on my doorstop to see what Carole has added!
