Another highlight of the year was going to the SGCI conference in Madison, WI, after two years of no conference due to the pandemic. It was so great to see old friends and meet new ones! My print Cobb’s Hill was selected by juror Esther Adler, Curator of Prints and Drawings at MoMA, for inclusion in the LBIF 2022 Works on Paper Exhibition. I did a rewarding visiting artist gig at the University of Rochester. It’s been a year of experimentation, including new prints with flocking and glitter, and a collaboration on laser-engraved woodcuts with with Blake Sanders of Catapult Press.
2021 What a year! My print Farmington Town Hall was selected by artist Chritiane Baumgartner for inclusion in IPCNY’s Lonely Hearts: New Prints 2021/Summer exhibition. As part of that exhibition, I participated in a public artists’ conversation and was awarded a studio visit award with Aprile Gallant, Senior Curator of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs at Smith College. Prints from this same series were exhibited in six other shows, including InkMasters Cairns in Australia, and won three awards. Mirabo Press worked with me to publish a series of four new digital and intaglio prints. And I got to do my two-week residency at Alfred University’ IEA, resulting in new projects including a series of photopolymer gravures, two of which were exhibited at the Ty Pawb International Print Exhibition in Wales.
2020 Lots of exciting things have happened, despite the devastation of the pandemic. I made a series of huge intaglio prints with Mirabo Press in Buffalo, and developed a new body of rice-pasted wall pieces. Both bodies of work were exhibited in my show, Now This at the Colleen Buzzard studio in Rochester. I got to work with filmmakers Tom Dooley and Alex Freeman to produce a short video on the show. I gave an artist’s talk about the Mirabo Press intaglio prints. I was also awarded a two week residency at IEA at Alfred University, though it has been re-scheduled for 2021 due to Covid. The 2019 IPEP A Voice to a Voice international exchange portfolio which I was juried into was exhibited in India, Nepal, Portugal, and the United States.
