Pop Up Art Show from Figure Drawing Workshop
A few times a month I attend a figure drawing workshop in Columbia, PA. Columbia is one of Pennsylvania’s river towns and it also has a slightly industrial feel. Above (left) is the center of town and to the right is the view from the window of our workshop which is on the second floorContinue reading “Pop Up Art Show from Figure Drawing Workshop”

It is so humid here that ink can take up to a week to dry, sometimes even longer, depending on howContinue reading “Spontaneous Collages”

Paper Exchange Collages
An online group through the Plastic Club, an historic artist club in Philadelphia, hosted a paper exchange. I received a pack of hand decorated papers as well as photographs. The idea was to use the papers to make collages. I used the papers in conjunction with things I made or saved. Here they are below.Continue reading “Paper Exchange Collages”

Print Exchange
Every so often, I remember how fun it is to participate in a print exchange. This year, I choose to participate in the Emerald Print Exchange. The wonderful thing about print exchanges is that the thrill and benefits last long after the exchange ends because you are the recipient of a packet of wonderful printsContinue reading “Print Exchange”
