A "pulp confection" Hush Redux was created with the scraps from my project titled "Hush" during my Print and Papermaking Fellowship at the Brodsy Center
Please come out to see me this Sunday, March 21st, as I participate in a fascinating exhibition — Pulp!
Artist and curator Rachel Leibman has pulled together an impressive group of artists for this Arts Guild New Jersey show. The theme is paper and you will be amazed by the way these artists have stretched the boundries of this medium. Printmaking, painting and scultpure are just a few of the examples I glimpsed while I was dropping off my three works. Here’s a bit of what Rachel has to say in her curatorial statement:
… for most visual artists, paper still retains the same importance it always had. Artists produce their art to be seen on a gallery wall, hung from a ceiling or displayed in a home. It is meant to be seen in “real life.” Works of art lose much of their immediacy, resonance and intimacy when viewed on a computer screen. Along with canvas, paper is a mainstay to the visual artist.
— Rachel Leibman, curator
I think I’m most excited about the company I’ll be in: Tom Nussbaum, Susan Lisbin, Deborah Ugoretz, Mona Brody, Marion Held, Daniel Seidman, Pamela Guenter-Duffus, Keely McCool, Catherine LeCleire, Rodriguez Calero, Rocco Scary, Pam Cooper, Beatrice Coron, and Rolla Herman.
It’s sure to be a wonderful show. Come!

In the Studio I’ll probably be posting a lot of “In the Studio” pieces in the near future; as I am frantically trying to get work finished for a few upcoming shows (More on those soon!)
So here’s another peek at what I’ve got going on!
After my wonderful Fellowship at the Brodsky Center; I was left with more than a head-full of exciting ideas, new friends and wet clothes. I also received 10 of the 30 editioned pieces of Hush my glorious collaboration with papermakers Lisa Switalski and Anne McKeown.

I was also given all the proofs that didn’t quite make the grade. Of course, as a collage artist I’m not going to get rid of any of those delicious bits! So I thought I’d share with you the beginning of this new painting I’m doing, using the scraps from Hush as a base. I’m not sure where I’ll be taking it from here, but I’ll keep you updated as it progresses!
Also, I’ve included a shot of the very start of the piece I’m doing with the shadows that I mentioned in the previous post.
Layers to go before I sleep, layers to go before I sleep!
