SILKSCREENS

I have recently started to expand my printmaking skills into the area of silkscreening. Here is one of my most recent silkscreen prints. 

Hello Folks.
I now have a website. All future blog posts will be on my website. You can find them under "articles".

I am pleased to announce that I will be exhibiting and selling my work at this event. This is a juried event.

SATURDAY, MAY 28, 2016 | 11:00am – 3:00pm
GUEST PRINTMAKER TALK | 3:00 – 4:00pm
IDEA EXCHANGE ART + DESIGN, DESIGN AT RIVERSIDE GALLERY
7 MELVILLE STREET S., CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO

Idea Exchange Art + Design invites artists to exhibit and sell their work at our Printmaker’s Popup on Saturday, May 28, 2016. This bi-annual one-day exhibition and sale features displays, demonstrations and original works by artists representing all areas of printmaking, as well as the new addition of a guest printmaker talk. The event is held at the Idea Exchange, Design at Riverside gallery and printmaking studio, home of the Riverside Print Group. The print sale is open to original fine art prints (relief, intaglio, and planographic prints). The event is free of charge to the public to attend. In addition to the exhibition and sale, visitors are invited to tour the printmaking studio and participate in hands-on activities and demonstrations throughout the day.

Here's a sample of some of the water colour monotype prints which I will be selling at the event. Even when several prints are made from the same plate, no two water colour monotypes are ever the same, with the result that each is a 1/1 print. 

Palette Knife Works

I've decided to expand my repertoire of oil painting skills by starting to work with a palette knife. I'm enjoying the process and the results. These paintings are not for sale the current time. They are for my show application portfolio.
