Studio Update January 20, 2026

Wow this month is flying by.  I'm taking a Mokuhanga workshop with Charlie Spitzack at the Winslow art Center this month.  It's great being with my fellow printmakers again on Zoom!  I believe in lifelong learning, especially in the arts.  Printmaking is a fine art that is accessible to almost everyone.  Woodblock printmaking is the oldest form of printmaking and needs no presses or special chemicals.  Kids can do it, seniors can do it.  It's great fun.  In an increasingly digital world, it's more important than ever.

I'm also working on White line woodcuts and drawings.  Photos below.

UPCOMING EVENTS

I'm participating in the International Juried Exhibition at the Cape Cod Museum of Art that opens January 30.  It's an honor to have been included in this show.  There were 318 artists from 34 states in the USA, The District of Columbia, Canada, Germany, Mexico, Spain, France, Italy, Malaysia, and Kuwait who submitted 551 artworks for this exhibition.  Only 74 artworks were selected.  The jurist was David Henry Perry, former manager of the Bertha Walker Gallery in Provincetown.  https://www.ccmoa.org/upcoming-exhibitions

There were several prints accepted in this exhibition, however mine was the only white line woodcut.  To have a white line woodcut accepted in the home of the place they were invented is a tremendous honor.

The Peninsula Gallery in Lewes Delaware is hosting an exhibition of work from the Lewes Artists in February.  I will be showing three white line woodcuts.  https://www.peninsula-gallery.com

The SAGA exhibition at the Housatonic Museum of Art is still up until mid February.  Still time to see it! SAGA

There will be a beginner class on making white line woodcuts at the Lewes Library on April 22 running three days.  I will post details later!  woodcut class
