Some of you might remember that I took a digital printmaking class with Mary Taylor. I loved it! Now Mary is juror for a digital printmaking exhibit. I think I'll submit something. How about you? The information is below.

Booksmart Studio embraces the new digital printing technologies while holding on the old values of traditional craftsmanship, printmaking, photography, and the studio arts. The studio prides itself on blending these old values with new technology to create works that encompass both state-of-the-art printing and classic hands-on personalization. This upcoming exhibition will celebrate the combination of new technology with an enduring emphasis on fine craftsmanship and quality.
The exhibition, recognizing and celebrating innovation and talent in digital printing, will be juried by Mary Taylor- educator and award-winning vanguard of digital processes. Using an eclectic mix of found objects, handmade papers, hand coatings, and modern digital printing processes, Taylor creates fine monoprints, artist books, and mixed media digital prints. While not teaching digital printmaking workshops or managing the studio of Digital Atelier’s Dorothy Krause, Mary Taylor is advancing her own unique talent and pioneering the art of alternative digital printing processes.

Anyone who lives in the Northeast knows we've had quite a bit of snow this past week! This collage was definitely inspired by the view outside. The background comes from a crayon batik piece, combined in Photoshop with an image I took last year at Endicott Park in Danvers, MA.
Well, to be honest, there's not a whole lot I like about snow, but I do love days like this. The roads are barely passable, no one is travelling, you have to stay home, which means we can do things like: decorate the tree, make art, and watch the Patriots, with no need to feel guilty that we should be doing someting else! My very favorite kind of day.
To be honest I'm sick of thinking about Christmas and winter in general. So I was thinking about the heart swap I signed up for and was playing with some ideas. I liked this one so much I'm putting it on ETSY as both a print and a card. It's a mix of two mixed media collages, blended and altered in Photoshop. There, I feel warmer already.
Brrr...it's SO cold in the Northeast right now. I can barely get warm even in the house! I was thinking of the little birds that visit my backyard and wondered how they were doing while I did this little digital collage.
An juried exhibition of small format collage to be presented at the Ayer Lofts Gallery in Lowell, Massachusetts. Karen Bettencourt, who is a fantastic artist, is one of the jurors. I had intended on participating last year, but life got in the way. This year I am excited thinking about what to submit...last year's entries were gorgeous.
