Connecticut Printmakers Invitational
March 17 - April 28, 2012
I am pleased to announce that I was asked to curate this inaugural show to celebrate Connecticut printmakers. I have invited 12 accomplished printmakers who are skilled in a variety of printmaking techniques. Some are well known artists who exhibit frequently throughout New England, and some are lesser known because they pursue their passion for printmaking at their own pace.
Some of the artists will be giving talks about their work, there may be printmaking demonstrations and possibly a beginner class.

I promise this event will be both visually beautiful and educationally stimulating, and appropriate for all ages. I hope you will join us in this unique celebration.
