I was a visiting artist in Florence, Italy, I attended the Paper and Book Intensive, and I  studied with a master paper maker on the island of Shikoku, Japan.  I was challenged over this past year to learn new techniques, to find themes and visual concepts in traditional Eastern and Western art using printmaking, paper making and book arts.  I worked in monotype, photo etching, Japanese paper making, woodcut and book binding incorporating content from antiquity and contemporary life.      Images on request…………..                                    Monotype Workshop in Falmouth   Shifting Priorites 12x12 monoprint 2009   Abstract Monotype/Monoprint Falmouth Art Center January 16 -17, 2010 (Jan. 18, optional third day) 9:30-3:30pm Explore abstract shapes and textures with contemporary printmaking techniques.
