Monotype love, love, love...oh + Mixed Media Collage / Works on Paper too!
Welcome and glad you found me. And what is a
Monotype, you ask? Ink is applied using a brayer, along with other implements onto the surface of a clear acrylic plate. A moistened piece of printmaking paper is placed over the plate and run through a press creating ONE print. Each monotype print is thus unique and one of a kind. It is a magical process, full of surprises, which is part of it’s wonderful appeal and serendipity.
What's ongoing, and with an unstoppable passion —
working in
Mixed Media: Collage, Painting
— allowing me to focus as always on shape, but with more freedom in exploring color relationships, line, and intricate compositions — with gouache/acrylic painted paper. Loving this re-emergence and appreciating the expansiveness.

Where I first experienced Richard Serra’s magnificent work - at DIA Beacon - and a fantastic place to see it and more.

Repost from @diaartfoundation

Richard Serra’s work explores “ways of relating movement to material and space,” a theme that remained central to the steel sculptures he created in the 1990s and early 2000s. “Union of the Torus and the Sphere” (2001) is one of several Serra works on long-term view at Dia Beacon.
Reminiscent of the hull of a ship, this vast torqued volume invites viewers to move around it to comprehend its unfamiliar identity.
Experience Richard Serra’s sculptures across five galleries at Dia Beacon. Open Friday—Monday, 10 am–4 pm. Book tickets at diaart.org/tickets or at our link in bio.

A new website is born for the prolific artist, Murray Hochman — murrayhochman.com — who has been making art for 60+ years - and delighted that he now has a beautiful, custom website that features a large body of his fantastic work created over the very many years. Just a few screenshots but see the site for an expansive look.
And catch Murray’s work at 68 Prince Street Gallery @68princegallery in Nov/Dec in a three person exhibit with Catherine Howe and Julie Evans, Opening 11/22. More details to come.
‘Murray Hochman (b. 1934) is a prolific NYC painter currently living in the Berkshires (MA). For more than 60 years, he has quietly pushed the boundaries of contemporary painting. Throughout that time, he exhibited his work regularly, but has distanced himself from the art establishment, letting his own processes, both internal and external, shape his work… From the vibrant NYC arts scene of the 1960s to the present, Hochman has painted consistently, guided by cultural trends, the demands of his materials and an abiding interest in experimentation. Visually, he took cues from the abstract expressionists and minimalists, and deeply admired the experimental sounds of minimalist composers such as Morton Feldman and La Monte Young. Although his works are often created in a minimal form, his sophisticated — sometimes whimsical — use of color and space create compositions in which time seems to dissolve...’ (read more in About).

And a beautiful solo album that I designed for Jack DeJohnette. For the cover, I used snippets of travel photos taken by Lydia DeJohnette, to reflect the mood of the music. The album was released in 2006 and won a Grammy. Jack leaves a wealth of music that will carry on and continue inspiring. For all those that had the pleasure of knowing him more closely, his presence will be/is missed.

I really love how this buyer paired the monotype with their furniture. It’s always touching to see how what you create lives in someone’s own spaces, and glad to come across this photo again. The art was on the wall for an exhibit at Pinkwater Gallery in its first Uptown Kingston, NY location, 2022. Happy to be bringing new work (this time large 20x16 painted paper/mixed media) to its current Fair Street abode within Kingston Social.

Happy birthday, Picasso. And art as it influenced and inspired Yves Saint Laurent.

repost:@museepicassoparis
‘The "Yves Saint Laurent aux musées" exhibition, which ran from January 29 to May 16, 2022, featured displays at six Paris museums, including the Musée National Picasso-Paris. At the Picasso Museum, the exhibit paired Picasso's artworks, such as Portrait de Nusch Éluard, with Saint Laurent's creations inspired by him, like the "Homage to Pablo Picasso" jacket from the 1979 collection. Other museums in the project, like the Centre Pompidou, also showed pieces inspired by Picasso alongside other artists, notes ARTnews.com.’

GINZA!
Giant exhibit of Indigo Fans at Matsuya Department Store celebrating 100 years.
Impossible to hang! In awkward stairwell spaces so nearly impossible to photograph! Indigo dyed by BUAISOU and unknown others. (I’ve turned some images right side up, though they couldn’t be hung that way.
A magnificent tribute to Matsuya - Ginza’s finest - I think! Concept by Reiko Sudo of NUNO - Japan’s most innovative textiles designers.
Last image - spontaneous study tables inside the subway for people who need to get their work done on the road. Generous and thoughtful use of space!
This will be a great series with the first being this Thursday 10/23, when curator Jaime Ransome interviews her fantastic father/artist/educator ‘Ransome’. Happy to design the graphic for ‘This is America’ series.

Curator Jaime Ransome titled this series “This is America” in response to ongoing cultural censorship and exclusionary immigration policy of the current administration. The “This is America” Artist Talk series invites artists to explore the sources of their creative inspiration while expanding on the complicated idea of “American art”. The series affirms that understanding what makes each of us unique is essential to understanding what makes America itself so rich, resilient, and worth protecting.
“This is America” Series Schedule:
Ransome: Thursday, October 23 from 5:30 - 7:30
The series opens with Ransome, whose layered collage work examines the history and future of The Great Migration both from and back to the American South, illuminating African American histories of labor, movement, and spiritual continuity.

Destiny Arianna, an Afro-Indigenous artist, creates historically influenced paintings and immersive, site-responsive installations that connect family memory with broader ancestral narratives.

Marielena Ferrer: Saturday, February 21 from 2-4pm
Marielena Ferrer’s experimental sculptural practice—highlighted by her thesis work with poison ivy—draws a sharp, poetic comparison between the ways humans affect the earth and how the earth, in turn, shapes us. Together, these artists bring forward distinct voices and visions that, when placed in dialogue, reveal the complexity, diversity, and richness of American art today.

In September 1948, the Ministério da Educação e Saúde in Rio de Janeiro opened Calder’s first solo exhibition in the country, which then traveled to the Museu de Arte, São Paulo. Brazilian audiences received Calder’s work rapturously, and the feeling was mutual: Calder and Louisa fell in love with Brazil, returning twice more in the ensuing decade. Jed Perl writes, “The fact that nearly everything in the São Paulo show actually sold made Brazil something of a miracle for Calder, who had never before encountered such an enthusiastic market for his work. It was an augury of even more extraordinary things to come.” One of the works on view was the standing mobile pictured here, Yellow Plane, which is now in the collection of the Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo (@mac_usp).

repost: @alice.rawsthorn - Marianne Straub | 5. Exciting though Marianne Straub’s work at Helios had been, its acquisition by Warner & Sons in 1950 established her as a powerful force in one of the UK’s most prestigious textile manufacturers. Founded in the historic silk weaving area of Spitalfields in East London in 1870, Warner established such a strong reputation that, a decade later, it was producing silks for the British royal family, while diversifying into new types of textiles and expanding internationally.
.
After it acquired Helios, Straub was charged with establishing Warner at the forefront of design innovation in post-war textiles. She began by creating one of her best known popular designs, Surrey, whose pattern was inspired by the crystalline structure of the mineral afwillite. Alongside another of her designs, Welland, it featured prominently at the 1951 Festival of Britain in the Regatta Restaurant, designed by the architect Misha Black.
.
Whereas Helios produced retail fabrics for sale to consumers, Warner specialised in developing contract textiles to be sold in huge quantities for use in offices, factories, churches, cinemas, hotels and other public buildings. This presented Straub with interesting new design challenges as contract textiles had to be stronger and more durable to withstand heavy duty use. She addressed this with customary efficiency, by developing new approaches to spinning, dyeing and weaving, while adhering to her subtly elegant design language, animated by vivid colours.
.
…“You had to think of colour fastness, you had to think of wear tests… and flammability, all things which come in particularly useful when you design for public use. Finally, the result had to be aesthetically acceptable.”

Well that was wild, and a true experience - lit up, things hanging, things to walk around and not step on, and packed with folk taking it in. I only caught this tiny snippet but glad I’ll see it again tomorrow when the work gets picked up. Go see this creative exhibit, born out of ‘why not’ this space - from the dedicated and creative @site_seen_arts @atelierwdstk_hudsonvalley @jen.miller.art - and all that participated and came to see it. It shows that our region is thirsty and open to the unexpected. Sunday hours are 12-5pm.

With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.
Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.
In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.
The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane

Of the many roles I’ve played in my design life, a significant one was as co-founder of a natural makeup company with Nancy Caigan - Primitive Makeup. While I still juggled many design clients in various sectors, we devoted, for very many years, our time, passion, enthusiasm, creativity and resources in the belief that what we put in and on our bodies should be healthy and beautiful too. But a very special moment was when Nancy and I met Jane Goodall in NYC at the premiere of the documentary film ‘Jane’ (2011). Nancy and I/Primitive had been contributing for many years, a percentage of our sales to the Jane Goodall Institute, to help support their efforts around the globe. We valued this relationship, even while being a small company. There will be none other than Jane Goodall, and we can only hope the generations that came from her inspiration, will find a way to save this little blue ball. Thank you, Dr. Jane Goodall.

Early May, just before my Storm King exhibition opened, THIS happened @friezenyc…I requested to do a 2 person booth with great artist #robertmangold I was so pleased with the results, had great fun installing with arne glimcher, and am only now having a chance to digest these photos and think about this work. Bob and I are both in the construction biz/making things bounce around with color and shape.
A new group from the ‘Piccola’ series heading to @mvndesign soon, and delighted this is among them.

Keeping this one in mind for when I go back in the print studio. There is something about its simplicity that I want to pursue further. Created during the ‘Monothon’ in my session with master printer/artist Opal DeRuvo.

Thank you @maxinedavidow for organizing this and great to spend time with artist friends - those I know a lot, and those I had a great time getting to know much more - and yes, thanks to @rvavraartist and @sharon_a_bates - a pleasure, and till next time, somewhere.

Sneak peek of the cover for a catalogue (currently in production) for the fantastic work from artist Fran Shalom, to coincide with her upcoming solo exhibit at Kathryn Markel Fine Art, NYC. What a joy to be immersed in Fran’s color/shaped world. And the created postcard announcement with details of the exhibit - so save the dates, NYC and regional friends! It will be a beauty of an exhibit.

Happy to see Joe Diggs @joediggsart getting the attention he deserves. A total pleasure working with Joe along with a great group of folk while designing the catalogue for him (which includes an essay by Seph Rodney and one by curator Mara Williams) - filled with Joe’s great art - for his solo exhibit at PAAM @paam1914 and @bertawalkergallery this past summer.

‘Seph Rodney’s essay about Joe Diggs’ paintings recently on view at Provincetown Art Association and Museum and Berta Walker Gallery, in Cape Cod, MA is published in September’s Dart International Magazine.
Rodney writes:”Diggs never entirely forgets this history and his position as a Black man in it, but at times, he leaves this aside to touch other tender places in himself.” Read more:

Sneak peek at the cover for the new catalogue of the Upcoming exhibit at Woodstock School of Art - a historic one - ‘In the Open Air: The Art Students League’s Woodstock School of Landscape Painting and Its Impact’. Curated and with an essay by art historian Bruce Weber. The catalogue, currently in production will be available at the Opening. It was fascinating to be immersed in this history and art of familiar landscapes and diverse expression as I was designing.

The exhibit opens with a reception on Saturday, October 11, from 2-4pm.

I popped into the Woodstock School of Art yesterday and the ‘Woodstock Monoprint Invitational Exhibition’ is STUNNING! OPENS TODAY, Saturday 9/13 with its silent auction from 2-4 pm, w/bidding ending at 3:30. The event will feature an exhibition of over 60 one-of-a-kind monoprints from 60 invited artists - all created during each artists session working with a master printer this past August, during the one week ‘Monothon’ - as it’s become lovingly referred to. You can see all the work in the exhibit at woodstockschoolofart.org - this is WSA’s biggest fundraising event. A quick snap of my monotype. All work in this exhibit has been donated by the artists, and 100% of the sales go to WSA for its continued strength and growth - and for all that partake in WSA’s offerings, this is a joyful contribution.
Always curious, this great boy. Currently on my wall in my own ever changing ‘gallery’ - but it is the best way for me to study the work rather than having it sit in my flat files or a box until it heads out elsewhere. From the Quadrato and Piccola painted paper series on Arches 300#.

A special event yesterday - gathering with the very warm, eclectic giant of architecture, Steven Holl, in the Archive Gallery @tspaceandsmhf - the living legacy of a lifetime of Steven Holl’s work and continued architectural creations - along with a gathering of architects, poets, artists, and friends of the arts. It felt like a ‘family’ gathering, with Steven and Dmitra’s children and other little ones bopping about, and overall warm and gracious vibes. Wonderfully presented by Director and Curator of TSpace, Susan Wides, and included a poetry reading by John Yau and solo drum performance by Tani Tabbal as part of the ‘2025 Synthesis of the Arts’. And very special to have the great architect Peter Eisenman in attendance.
Excellent architectural models and initial loose sketches, from the five chosen participating architects, curated by architect Garrick Ambrose.

I always find it humbling and joyful when your art is chosen to live in someone’s own spaces - and so I hope these two works from the ‘Mezzo’ series brings much joy to the new owners, who discovered them @mvndesign - the great little shop/workplace of interior designer Michael Van Nort in Uptown Kingston, NY.

A really excellent exhibit from six artists - and if you didn’t make it to the Opening, it continues through 9/28, open Th-Sun (check website for hours). Delighted to continue designing the website, from its inception to its changing exhibits, along with print ads, social media graphics and more. 68princestgallery.com - soon to be updated with what’s on the horizon in this great gallery with great folk at its helm.

And it’s a wrap. Such a great quality little exhibit, curated and conceived by Jen Dragon of @crosscontemporaryart and in an unused space she turned into an exhibition space, as is her talent. And loved creating with cardboard. No box that enters my space is tossed without inspection and the thought of whether it’s art worthy. And always great folk who keep Opus 40 humming - a pleasure to be in Harvey Fite’s magical stone creation.

And the Karen Karnes covered lid jar with her signature salt glazing that she gifted me way back, which has moved with me from NYC, to San Francisco to Woodstock, NY (and multiple cities in between the two coasts). A sheer delight to be connected to Mark Davenport @landkidzink who grew up living in the Gate Hill Cooperative community (outside NYC) that his parents founded along with Karen and other alumni of Black Mountain College (NC), continuing the creative, progressive roots of BMC (with creative links to the Bauhaus). See Mark’s work documenting and preserving the history of the Gate Hill Community, which Karen Karnes lived in for 25 years, then relocating to Vermont.

This is very touching. And as artists, we don’t always get to see where our art gets hung once it leaves us, so I appreciate this photo and it’s gracious sentiments. Thank you @landkidzink. And it’s the positive side of social media, that it enables folk to find and discover one another. And thank you to @mvndesign who carefully packed and shipped the work and made sure of its safe arrival.

Very pleased to be new custodians of these two striking mixed media collages with painted paper by artist Susanna Ronner @susannaronner_art, part of her “Mezzo” series.
I have been admiring Susanna’s work on Instagram for quite a while and was thrilled to hear that, by coincidence, she worked with Gate Hill artist Karen Karnes for a period of time at Hunter College, calling Karen her first mentor. Knowing that connection, we hung her two pieces above our fireplace, each bookending one of Karen’s salt-glazed vases.
Thank you, Susanna for brightening our room with your beautiful art!
So looking forward to this exhibit coming to @themuseumofmodernart in October.

“If you passed through the unlocked gate and rambling garden into Ruth Asawa’s Noe Valley home between 1966 and 2000, the 5-foot-tall Japanese American artist would likely have persuaded you to lie down on the kitchen table or living room floor and let her cover your face in plaster. Ethereal clusters of her undulating, looped-wire sculptures would have dangled from the rafters of the cathedral ceiling while her six children, and later 10 grandchildren, ran underfoot.” —@HilarieSheets via @NYTimes on Ruth Asawa’s universe
On view through Tuesday, September 2, the first posthumous traveling retrospective of work by @RuthAsawaOfficial presents the full range of the artist’s work and its inspirations over 6 decades of her career, including suspended looped- and tied- wire sculptures, drawings and paintings, clay masks, bronze sculptures, references to her public artworks through the city of San Francisco, and more.
+ Following this iteration, the exhibition will open at @TheMuseumofModernArt this fall, and will then travel to @MuseoGuggenheim and @FondationBeyeler through 2027.
