Opie and I love adventure and veering off in new directions, and as a result, every so often throughout our creative lives we’ve re-invented ourselves - and this move to the Berkshires is turning out to be another of those magical times!
My new Etching Press has Arrived…
Over the last few weeks I’ve become obsessed with Printmaking both with and without a Press (although I must admit, I REALLY love using the Press) so much so that “Santa Opie” bought me this beauty for Christmas.
My new obsession started innocently enough with a 5 week series of workshops with Dean Nimmer, the author of Art from Intuition, who lives in a neighboring town. Truthfully, I simply wanted to jumpstart my creativity after the year from hell and this very intense out of state move. I never expected or imagined that this would ignite such a fire in me... but it did! I thought I was hooked at Monoprints and Collographs - but I’m quickly discovering that Printmaking offers myriad possibilities and I’m looking forward to getting lost in each new process. As you can see, I’m beyond excited and I invite you to come along as I begin this new phase of my creative life.
So stay tuned as I open the box both literally and metaphorically…
