The Craneway Craft Fair is later this month and I’ll be an exhibitor. It’s on November 25-26, 2023 at the Craneway Pavilion, which is a cool huge building on the waterfront in Richmond, California.

I’ll have a booth at the San Francisco Center for the Book’s annual printmaking festival called Roadworks. It’s a great event that I’ve participated in many times. As the SFCB says,
“Roadworks is a family-friendly, daylong block party featuring public printmaking, bookmaking, and hands-on art activities. It celebrates printmaking and the art of the book in a spectacular way: printing 3’ by 3’ carved linoleum blocks using a 7-ton 1924 Buffalo Springfield steamroller.”

I’m looking forward to having a booth again at the upcoming Albany Middle School Arts & Crafts Fair on Sunday. The fair always has a fun atmosphere and it’s a fundraiser for the school PTA.
I’m really happy to have a linocut in a new print exhibition called, Surface Impressions, in Lincoln, NE. There are seventy-four relief prints in the show, which was juried by Sean Starwars. The selected works are on view at LUX Center for the Arts and Constellation Studios from June 3 - August 26, 2022.
My contribution is a multicolor linocut print called, Aloft II. I wrote about this series of aerial landscape inspired prints in a blog post where I also have a short video of me printing the linocut on a press.

I’m pleased to have one of my most recent linocut prints in a new online gallery show at Mill Valley’s O’Hanlon Center for the Arts. My new reduction lino print was made in March-April, 2020 during California’s shelter-in-place order for the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you’re curious about the process of making the print, I posted work in progress photos on Instagram that you might want to check out (after the third layer and after the fourth layer), as well as a short carving video.
The art show is titled, Humankind in Crisis, and this is how they’ve described the current show:
“Artists throughout time have responded to their world with a visual understanding that speaks to our collective feelings and emotions. Art has the capacity to go deeper and touch us in ways that news reports and charts cannot. This show represents how the current extreme, frightening, life-altering crisis is manifesting in our artists’ work created between March 1 and April 20, 2020.”
The O’Hanlon Center is hosting an online roundtable discussion on May 5 (4:00 PM PST) via Zoom. Go to the O’Hanlon Center website to see the artworks in the show, join the Zoom call, or download the show program. Thanks!
