open studio/classload reduction

Hello. Today was a snow day. these are always nice. A chance to catch up a bit. Lets see. I have more exciting news. I have a solo show scheduled at Open Studio in Toronto. This is the largest, most prestigious printmaking center in Canada. I am super excited about it! I am going to be showing installation type works related to abuse. I have a lot of work to do on it, but the show is not until Oct. so I have some time. Here is their website if you would like to check out the center.

I also recently found out that I was awarded reassigned time for the fall semester, meaning I have a 1 course reduction in my teaching load so I can focus on my research! I am super stoked about this!! I will be teaching 1 intro to printmaking and one upper level printmaking class and that is it. This will help me focus on my art sooooo much!!! I am just so surprised to have suddenly been awarded with so much! I am kinda still a little speechless.

This article was recently written in HI Art Magazine about a show my work is currently in if your interested, I received an jurors choice award. 

Well, I guess that is about all I wanted to say!!!! Cheers.

  4. ya, I dont know about the "messy wallpaper" I found it kinda amusing. Perhaps this person is use to really tight prints and my prints are far from being that type of prints, so this could be what he means? If my work was next to a highly anal printmakers work I could see it being seen as messy, for sure. Some people have real issues with my printmaking methods. They arent exactly traditional. Id say my prints are more painterly than printerly.I dont know that this guy had an issue though?

    thanks for your comments!
