Just printing these two new blocks, getting ready for the white line block print workshop at Featherstone this weekend. Proving to myself again the KISS approach to things: Keep It Simple Sweetie!!! I’ll probably transform the mermaid into a multiple block color piece. (More on that in the New Year!) Info and registration for the workshop at Featherstoneart.com Sat and Sunday 12/14 & 15 10:00-1:00 All supplies provided No art experience necessary. Come Saturday or Sunday or, most fun, BOTH!!! @featherstonecenterforthearts #art#printmaking #whitelineprint #provincetowntechnique #mermaid #makeyourmark #seewhathappens #artisaboutinteraction (at Featherstone Center for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B58HfcigvG4/?igshid=1e8bs010gnwmq

Spent the afternoon in the @featherstonecenterforthearts printmaking studio. It’s a great new space with three presses! I’ll be teaching there sometimes this fall and winter. Just figuring out when. We’re so lucky to have this beautiful community art center. It’s a treasure. #art #communityart #printmaking #monotypes #artisgoodforyou #dedicatethemerit #artisaboutinteraction

Beach Plums with their watercolors. This "Wild Thing" #illustration is in the latest issue of @marthas_vineyard_magazine I LOVE drawing plants. *******************************##penandink #handcolored #watercolor #art #artisgoodforyou #artisaboutinteraction

A couple quick shots of two pieces in the Galaxy Gallery Art for the Ukraine show. Not only a chance to support the Ukrainian people, but also a chance to afford art usually sold at a higher price. Sounds like a win win to me. Today Saturday (5/21) and tomorrow (5/22) from 12-4. Thank you Holly and Leslie and all the others for pulling this together. #artisaboutinteraction #seewhathappens #artfortheukraine (at Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd1Jr6XuAW0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The moods of May. First Lady Slipper sighting. Shadows and sand ripples on the beach. Musical shapes of unfurling Hosta. Magical stardust of a Dandelion seed head (make a wish). Foggy swaddle of Japanese Maple with its attendant bamboo. #seewhathappens #artisaboutinteraction #lifeisartislife (at Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdrD7kzuSQG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some things are just black and white. This time I printed on sheer dotted Swiss and some lovely heavyweight cotton then layered them together (that’s to first frame.) And sweet Althea gave me a couple canvas bags to print on. That’s my first one (in the last frame.) Just been loving these light disc cosmic dandelion puff sea anemone star bursts I started carving this winter. #printingonfabric #handprinting #reliefprints #blackandwhite #artisaboutinteraction #seewhathappens (at Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdbykkWueTl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You ever feel like this? Helen Keller was a wild child rampaging through a mysterious and confusing world when, shortly before her 7th birthday, Annie Sullivan got through to her. By finger signing W. A. T. E. R. into one of her palms while holding the other under a gushing pump Helen was drawn out from the dark confinement of her deafness and blindness. Her desire to learn everything ignited. It was 1887. Seventeen years later, in 1904, she graduated from Radcliffe college with honors. Helen traveled the world advocating for human rights and authored many books. She is such a hero in my heart, where lives my own wild child, passion for learning, and desire to benefit others. #wildchild #Helenkeller #monotype #printmaking #artisaboutinteraction (at Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEeEPoOJB8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
