Last few days to see this show, closes September 27th. It has been such an honor to be included !
Lesley University College of Art and Design Summer Youth Program
I am pleased to be teaching two classes during summer session. After the winter we had here in Boston, everyone is enjoying getting outside and feeling that sunshine and harnessing it in the interest of making photographic art. Here is my group outside the Lunder Arts Center making cyanotypes.
The Hand Magazine
One of the Fells images will be featured in the next issue of The Hand Magazine! The upcoming issue happens to include work by some super talented female photographers---Jaime Johnson, Diana Bloomfield, and Jess Somers are among my favorites--- and I recommend checking them out. This publication is a terrific place to become acquainted with contemporary artists involved in image making from digital to the handmade photograph. https://thehandmagazine.wordpress.com/issue-9-july-2015-purchase-and-artists-links/
Delaware Art Museum Dream Streets Preview Event
The preview event on Friday June 26th was attended by over 600 guests and emotions ran high as exhibiting artists returned to Wilmington from all over the country. The excitement of the times was reflected in the abundance of work featured, and was beautifully curated by Margaret Winslow.
On a personal note, while I was thrilled to be included and gratified by the validation, what really made my heart full was to see Tom Watkins get the recognition and credit he deserved for being the incredible force of energy that drove the art scene at that time. If he hadn't dragged me into it kicking and screaming I might never have shown my work. He has been my long time friend and mentor and I have learned so much from him. Pictured here drawing me an impromptu sketch at the train station after the opening.
June 20, 2015 Longwood Gardens
This week I worked with Longwood Gardens to develop a workshop for their continuing education program that combines photography with horticultural focus. Next August I will present a full day of exploring light sensitive processes that utilize plant materials from the gardens! There will be a presentation on the history of employing plants to create photographs such as anthotypes and chlorophyll printing, followed by a hands on class. Mark your calendars, August 2016 will be here before you know it :)
