Memory map etching, collagraph & monotype

Over 1000 small works of art  were submitted  in 2009 to the SECRET ARTWORKS fundraiser, held annually by the Cincinnati non-profit organization ArtWorks.  My print Memory map was listed among the top 100 submissions, and  I was invited to participate in their exhibit -- EXPOSED -- featuring works by more than 80 of the selected artists.

I'm excited to be participating in an exhibit of new work by members of The Print Club of Northern Kentucky University.

The show explores the fertile intersection of word and image, with each artist responding visually

to the writing of a favorite author.
