The Art Hub in Cambridge, WI has a new product available. I have collected 40-50 papers into sets that can be used for art journaling and collage. They include a mix of gelli printed papers of all kinds, book pages, antique papers from magazines, sheet music and ledgers, security envelopes, book pages used as paint pallets, commercial and hand painted tissue papers, block printed papers and more. They are only available in person at the gallery at this point.

I have also been invited to have a solo exhibit at the UW Hospital Carbone Cancer Center in Madison, WI. It will be up from April 29 – July 27 this year. The exhibit spaces are open for guests to view. The J3/1 area of this space (on the first floor) does have limited hours from M-F 7:30am-5pm. The portion of the exhibit on the 2nd floor (J3/2) is located in a public accessible area and is therefore open 24/7, though the best time to visit is during visiting hours 8am -9pm. There will not be a reception for this exhibit. Having my art in medical spaces is one of my highest goals and comes from the many hours I have spent waiting and looking at art that did not engage me when I was in very difficult situations. I hope that my art will engage patients and their families and provide them with moments of peace. I am getting some new pieces framed for this exhibit.

I love Carve December! It is an Instagram challenge started and hosted by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer of Balzer Designs. She provides prompts for each day of the month and people carve stamps (blocks) inspired by those prompts, or whatever. I have generally been one of the “whatever” carvers but this year I am following the prompts and having a lot of fun with it. I am curious if you can guess what the prompts might be based on what I carved. I would love it if you would leave a comment with your ideas.

I have made another paper bag art journal to capture all of the printed goodness.

Happy holidays!

Oct. 19, Saturday from 1-4pm Cost: $58
Art Hub
145 W. MAIN    
CAMBRIDGE, WI

Registration deadline: SATURDAY OCT 5 at Art Hub

Create your own floral collage! This class is an introduction to gelli printing and mixed media collage. It is for both beginning and intermediate artists. In this class we will use acrylic paint and a gelli plate to paint a variety of papers to use in a 5×7 collage. Gelli printing is a fun and easy process that creates unexpected combinations of color and texture. It is somewhat unpredictable, and you are sure to get some papers you can use in your collage. There will be a selection of papers for you to print on (ie. maps, book pages, old sheet music). Lace will be used to make papers that look like tablecloths and stencils and other patterning tools will be used to make papers that look like wallpaper. We will use some of my carved blocks to stamp leaves and flowers on some of the papers and cut simple shapes for a table, wall and vase. After we cut out the flowers and leaves, we will play around with different paper and color combinations for the collage. Then we glue it all together. You will take home a matted 5×7 still life that is ready for an 8×10 frame.
