Monotype
love,
love,
love...oh and Mixed Media 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 new,
and with an unstoppable passion
—
working in
Mixed Media / Collage
once again — allowing me to focus on shape, color relationships, line, and more intricate compositions, using gouache painted paper. Loving this re-emergence and appreciating the depth of exploration.
Lots of excitement building for the inaugural exhibit this Saturday 4/26 of @68princegallery in midtown Kingston, NY - and visit the new site - 68princestgallery.com - for a link to the New York Times article about Francine Tint, which also mentions the Kingston exhibit along with a quote by the gallery’s curator, Alan Goolman. The gallery looks stunning with the creative energy and the longtime sweat, vision and hard work of artist co-founders Paula and David Kucera, making this space come to life, and with Alan’s great curatorial eye. Happy to play a role as designer of the website and more.
•
from the NYT:
‘In February, Upsilon’s London outpost held a show of Tint’s work; a forthcoming short film about her, “Panoramic View,” by the filmmaker Pola Rapaport, will be released later this spring. Then there is her show at 68 Prince Street, a new gallery in Kingston, N.Y., from April 26 to June 26. “I was looking for an artist that really was going to make a statement for our inaugural show,” said the gallery’s curator, Alan Goolman. Tint came to mind. “This woman is having her time right this very minute.”

This place! Beloved for its workshops, classes, and exhibitions but also it’s great and welcoming community of artists - a second ‘home’ for very many of us. I’m happy to bring my design eye to this new signage, along with its exhibition catalogues, and much, much more.

Check out our stunning new sign! 🎉
A huge thank you to the dedicated WSA Sign Committee for their hard work and vision: Claudia Waruch, Elizabeth Broad, Susanna Ronner (also designed the sign), Carol Davis, Heather Caufield, and Darren May.
We also want to extend our sincere gratitude to Kurt and his incredible team at Boyer Signs for bringing the design to life with such skill and professionalism. Your combined efforts have truly made a difference! 🙏

The exhibition Calder. Sculpting Time at MASI Lugano (@masilugano) presents a rare opportunity to see eight of Calder’s Constellations on view together. The artist developed this new form of sculpture in the early 1940s in response to the scarcity of sheet metal during World War II. “As sculptural assemblages of carved elements, Calder’s Constellations imply a return to the craft of his forebears,” writes Alexander S. C. Rower. “Yet as open, reduced-mass abstractions, they are a clear departure from the conventions of solid sculptural form ... These majestic sculptures reconcile tradition and innovation in a decisive way.” The Constellations pictured here are a selection of those on view at MASI through 6 October.

Yay, new Signage for Woodstock School of Art is born!
Almost a year in the making, but thanks to the input on the signage needs from the WSA signage committee, led by Claudia Waruch; the review and approval by the WSA Board of Directors; and Kurt Boyer of Boyer Signs on their quality manufacturing and Kurt’s expert technical ideas and guidance; and along with everyone’s dedication to the project; and with my design - happily just installed.
A challenging road that curves, and moves fast from both directions, the goal always has been safety while creating clear, contemporary signage to mark entry into the school complex — and so from that perspective, drivers can see the Woodstock School of Art logo and name, and as they drive in, can absorb in a safe way, the rest of the information on the sign panels. And it will be lit when it’s dark, which will be excellent for evening classes through the seasons. With Spring, plantings will get added.
And stay tuned, as when there is an Opening Exhibition, a red sign panel — ‘Exhibition Today’ — will be hung (below ‘Visitors Welcome’) — so come partake in the festivities and see some exceptional art. WSA is open for visitors Monday — Saturday, 9-3pm, both for a tour of the campus and to see the current exhibition. For more on their fantastic classes and workshops, go to woodstockschoolofart.org.
•
And for those that don’t know, the beautiful logo has been with the school for a very long time, but I refined it’s typography to have it be more contemporary, professional and consistent in it’s use, and since have been designing it’s very many printed pieces (course catalog, exhibition catalogues, stationery and more) along with various digital and social media needs - and it’s been my pleasure.

‘Richard Hunt: Early Masterworks’ is now open at White Cube New York.
Construction D (1956) would constitute one of Hunt’s first human-scale sculptures, made from carved cottonwood combined with welded steel. He initiates his Construction [Letter] series in November 1955 and only 5 sculptures (N,D,A,S,O - in this order of creation) in this series were created in 1955 - 56. Hunt’s early wood and metal pieces, both rare and unique, are the only large scale (floor standing works) where Hunt incorporated wood with his newly acquired welding techniques. Construction D was created during the time when Hunt was working out of his basement studio of ‘Hunt’s Barbershop’ in Englewood on the South Side of Chicago.
Construction D won the Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Logan Medal and Prize from the Art Institute show, 59th Annual Exhibition by Artists of Chicago and Vicinity. The New York gallerist Charles Alan would see the work, Construction D, and sign Hunt with the promise of a future solo exhibition at the Alan Gallery on Madison avenue in 1958.
In 1971, Richard Hunt achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first African American sculptor to have a landmark retrospective at MoMA, New York with a presentation of works from 1955–71.
This show at White Cube New York mirrors that time span, including the restaging of several works that were presented in his MoMA retrospective.
Several rarely exhibited works from the artist’s personal collection, including ‘Hero’s Head’ (1956), a pivotal sculpture made in response to the murder of Emmett Till, also feature in the show.l

Thinking today about this fantastic pairing at Atlanta’s @highmuseumofart of Adolph Gottlieb’s “Duet” (1962) and David Smith’s “O Drawing (First State)” (1954-55), on view in the Stent Family Wing. The two artists were close friends and neighbors for several years in Brooklyn Heights. As seen above, the circle was an important form for both Smith and Gottlieb, with inexhaustible layers of metaphysical, historical, and organic meaning.

A beautiful body of work documented in this 2024 catalogue I designed for the prolific artist, Mary Frank - still vibrant, creating, dedicated to her art, and in her 90s (though you’d never know it). An inspiration - and was delighted to design this second catalogue for her. @mary___frank

Eduardo Chillida, Sin título,1987
“I’m one of those people who believe—and this is very important to me — that humans are from a particular place. The ideal is really that we’re from one place, that we have roots in one place, but that our arms extend outward to the world: that the ideas of all cultures matter to us. All places are perfectly suitable to those suited to them. Me, here, in my Basque country, I feel at home, like a tree planted firmly in its terrain, tied to its territory but with its branches open to the world.”
Eduardo Chillida

Yay, a new logo is born!! - for the amazing Martina Enschede, Dutch native, and her newly renamed practice as ‘Dutchess Pilates’. Martina is an exceptional, excellent and intuitive guide with Pilates and NKT (Neuro Kinetic Therapy) and the unique way she combines these modalities. I know of how incredible she is as I’ve been working with her since she first arrived in the Hudson Valley (about 20 years). So it’s my pure delight to have designed this for her (and a website will be on the way soon too), and to launch her new name and in a new location.

Ruth Asawa: Retrospective, an in-depth look at Asawa’s groundbreaking practice, opens Saturday, April 5, at @SFMOMA. This major exhibition, the first posthumous traveling retrospective of the artist’s work, kicks off in @RuthAsawaOfficial’s longtime home: San Francisco. Learn more via the link in bio.
Asawa’s signature looped-wire sculptures will share gallery space with lesser-known works that bring insight into the relentlessly experimental nature of her artistic vision. In addition to her own work, the exhibition will include a select number of works by peers and mentors with whom Asawa engaged in creative dialogue, including Josef Albers and Imogen Cunningham.

‘In Quietude’ series #133 - 2020 - the silver lining of not having access to the printmaking studio during the pandemic, revitalized my relationship with mixed media collage, making one a day till I got to #200. It was an amazing process of exploration but also solace.

Happy to have these pieces in Japan now, with a close family friend - and her delight in having them framed and up on her wall. I’m glad it’s bringing her sweet family joy.

Framing work and hanging it on my own wall (where I also rotate the wall it’s on) is the best way I can absorb, evaluate and also ponder what’s next. From the ‘Over Under’ series. And see more in this series @PinkwaterGallery with four currently up on its wall.

Truth! That is, if you are designer committed to creating beautiful work. Saul Bass, the great - in his own words.
•
What defines great design? In this video, we hear from the legendary Saul Bass in a 1986 interview with Archie Boston.
Saul Bass was one of the most influential American graphic designers of the twentieth century. Renowned for his work in motion picture title sequences, corporate logos, and movie posters, he revolutionized title design in film. Over his four-decade career, he set new standards in graphic design and even won an Academy Award for his exceptional work.

From 2021, and sold at Pinkwater Gallery. It was a sweet story [as retold by gallerist Anne Sanger] - as a couple came in and she expressed to her husband how much she liked this piece - and later, unbeknownst to her, he bought it for her as a gift. Designer in me also created a folding card with the art image on the front, plus envelope, that he gave her first, followed by the framed art. At its best, the art we create continues to spread happiness to others. That’s quite special.

Happy birthday to 𝗬𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗶 𝗞𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗮, who was born today in 1929!
Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist known for her diverse oeuvre spanning sculpture, installation, painting, and more. Rooted in conceptualism, her work integrates elements of feminism, surrealism, and minimalism, infused with personal narratives. Celebrated globally, she’s acclaimed as Japan’s foremost artist, influencing peers like Andy Warhol. Despite grappling with mental health challenges, Kusama’s prolific output, from the 1950s to the present, continues to captivate audiences worldwide, serving as a profound outlet for her struggles and a testament to the enduring power of art.
To inquire about works by Yayoi Kusama, please contact info@tiroche.com.

How do you see Picasso? “It is these sculptures that would lead Kahnweiler [Picasso’s dealer] to write of ‘drawings in space.’ He would also describe them as a first step toward something that, until then, only architecture had achieved: the actual ‘creation of spaces.’” It’s interesting to consider that Picasso, working in the first few decades of the 20th century, may have prefigured a whole generation of American sculptors achieving prominence in the 50’s and 60’s, like David Smith and Richard Serra, who also approached “space” as a medium unto itself. Different doors to the same house. @themuseumofmodernart #Picasso #PicassoSculpture #MoMA #DavidSmith #RichardSerra #Minimalism #HowDoYouSee

Yay, a new catalogue is born! For Artist/Quilter Pamela Loewen - and the inaugural exhibit of the gallery she founded - Loewen Gallery. The gallery is a first of its kind, dedicated exclusively to the art of the Quilt — with her own ‘Garden Series’, accompanied by a catalogue of works in this upcoming exhibit, which I was delighted to design. Featuring other Artist/Quilters is on the calendar for this year and already into next.
“We believe in promoting quilt making as an art form, fostering connections between artists, and providing a space for artists to grow and develop in the quilt making medium.”
The exhibit opens April 25th - August 9. Good wishes for a great Opening and launch of this new gallery in Williamston, MI. | The catalogue features a wonderful essay by Petra Fallaux @petrafallaux

In 2015, Tate Modern, London (@tate), presented Alexander Calder: Performing Sculpture, exploring how the artist transformed sculpture from a static object into a continually changing work to be experienced in real time. “His works perform in the sense that they accomplish and bring to pass,” Penelope Curtis writes in the exhibition catalogue. “They pull us toward them, round them and into them ... they absorb into themselves the movement and the passage of time.” The sound-making hanging mobile Streetcar from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago (@artinstitutechi) featured in the show.

Really delighted to be showing this new body of work - the ‘Over Under’ series, at @pinkwatergallery, in its new location within Kingston Social on Fair Street, in Uptown Kingston’s Stockade District. Shown here is one of four in the series up on its wall. Having had a long relationship with Pinkwater Gallery, it is special to once again be invited to have work in its current À LA MAISON concept, and alongside the work of a wonderful group of artists. It’s aim, as gallerist Anne Sanger expressed, is to present “an ongoing, ever-evolving collection of art for the home, at a variety of price points, making it easier to start or continue to build an art collection...Our other objective is to introduce you to the incredible artists in our area…” I hope you pop in there - the cappuccino aromas wafting in the air, adds to its very welcoming vibe.

I have been visualizing, yearning, pondering, desiring, to get larger with mixed media collage and finally landed on something today, which I can now see will grow into a series (yet to be named) - 20x16. Second image is testing it taped onto the frame it would go into (28x22).

David Smith’s Song of the Landscape (1950) is featured in ‘Drawing without Paper: Selections from The Met Collection’ in the Gioconda and Joseph King Gallery (Gallery 916) @metmuseum
Song of the Landscape is presented alongside works by Gego, Ruth Asawa, Zarina, Sheila Hicks, Alexander Calder, Dorothea Rockburne, Richard Tuttle, Ana Mendieta, Dennis Oppenheim, Liliana Poster, Oscar Muñoz, and Richard Long. Each work reveals the inventive ways these artists found to employ line through unconventional means such as stitching, weaving, or abandoning a support altogether and “drawing in space” with sculptural elements and shadow.
“By exploring notions of transparency and weightlessness with lines and forms,” curator Iria Candela writes, artists such as Smith, Asawa, Calder, and Gego “redefined how sculpture interacts with the surrounding environment. Other artists complicated the definition of drawing by experimenting with line, materiality, process, and even the outdoor landscape.”

Currently at Lockwood Gallery, an excellent and fascinating array of monotype and monoprint work, and am pleased to have three pieces in this exhibit (with the larger of the three having sold on the exhibits Preview day). There can be so much complexity in printmaking that I found myself really studying each work on its walls. Worth a visit from anywhere - stay tuned with Lockwood on monotype demos by Joan Ffolliott (who is also in the exhibition).

My relationship with Pinkwater Gallery began in December 2019 when artist/gallerist Anne Sanger invited me to be in an exhibit she was creating, early in the life of the new gallery. The exhibit, ‘Monotype Modern’ - a three person exhibit also included Joan Ffolliott and Wendy Stefanelli, and opened March 2020. That grew into a long, and rewarding relationship with the gallery and Anne, through thick and thin (ah, the pandemic) as a ‘collective’ of artists. Happily, my work has remained in Anne’s scope and I’m delighted to be bringing a new body of work - ‘Over Under’ into Pinkwater Gallery in its new abode as part of Kingston Social (which also includes Helena Palazzi [from the former ‘collective’] and Samara Daly). I appreciate that Anne and Pinkwater Gallery, continue to reinvent itself in various ways, and open to exploring what it presents - much like we do as artists with our own creative process. Do pop in to see this and the other great work on its walls. (Did I say there is also authentic Italian pastries and cappuccino, courtesy of Swedish/Italian Helena, and a great array of curated mercantile from the eye of Samara).

“As we round the corner on winter and head soon into spring in the #hudsonvalley, we introduce a new collection of art in the gallery this week. For those of you who remember @pinkwatergallery, the À LA MAISON concept will be familiar. Back in the days when the gallery resided on N. Front Street, it seemed that introducing folks to art can be a challenge because of the intimidation factor. And yes, coming into a space that is strictly an art gallery can be really daunting! So we always showed art in a homelike setting and made it as easy and welcoming as possible to discover and buy art for the home.
Now that we have settled into our new home at Kingston Social, more and more of you are experiencing the joy of art in the everyday. What we aim to do with À LA MAISON is to host an ongoing, ever-evolving collection of art for the home, at a variety of price points, making it easier to start or continue to build an art collection in your own home. Our other objective is to introduce you to the incredible artists in our area, like those in the current exhibition @danamcclure @dianemoroff_collages @annelgabriele @kristinosterberg @susannaronner_art and others. Please do stop by and have a look, and remember… ART IS FOR EVERYONE.”

Delighted that this ‘Piccola’ will be heading soon to the abode of a wonderful artist (and design client) and one of three - “We still love these three. They have a very upbeat kind of poetry which we really need right now!” - I love that sentiment and I hope it brings much joy.
