Ringing the Temple Bell

I am so proud to be awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship this year. I will be working on John Brown’s Vision on the Scaffold. The work will be part of a solo exhibition at the Schneider Museum of Art in October 2020 and Orange County Museum of Art in September 2019.

Ditching toxic solvents in the studio for all oil clean up and thinning. Suddenly my work space is less cluttered and smells better. #nontoxicstudiopractice #cleaneroilpainting #nomorebraincellstospare (at NW Marine Art Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbrJ9Xg30P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17dd697786xph

A 32 page book of essays and drawings about the historic village of Waterford, Virginia and the legacy of abolitionist John Brown. Book design by Tracy Schlapp of Cumbersome Multiples.

Just got my John Brown’s Body book back from the printer. I’m so excited to hold it. It contains a series of short essays and ink drawings from my summer residency in Waterford, Virginia. Beautiful graphic design by @tschlapp of #cumbersomemultiples. Thanks @scoutbooks for the printing and great service. Thanks to Oregon Arts Commission and Ford Family Foundation for funding. I will continue this work at a residency in May @macdowellcolony. If you want a copy early subscribe to Fresh Ink from #cumbersomemultiples. This will be included along with other great hand printed work. Follow the link from @tschlapp. #waterfordvirginia #civilwar #johnbrown #essays #scoutbooks #blockprint #letterpress #artistresidency #oregonartscomission #fordfamilyfoundation
