So excellent to be invited again to have a session working with a master printer at the annual Woodstock Monoprint Invitational, going on this week - and drank up the guidance, tips and expertise of the wonderful master printer I worked with - artist/printmaker Opal DeRuvo. My session was shared with my inky pal Joan Ffolliott and we asked Opal to show us a particular technique that had intrigued us in the past - and that sent lightening bolts through my imagination. While most go into their ‘Monothon’ session with some direction or piece of art as a jumping off point, as an improvisational printmaker, I came in with my nothingness - a smattering of cut pieces to maybe use or not, a painted paper collage to look at for perhaps color direction as a starter, and a whole lot of trust (and gentle trepidation). This is what emerged. A few were instructional for seeing where my technique needed to be refined though liked its image direction; and three were exciting for where it came together. After having taken a long break in printmaking (to focus more on mixed media collage), the session lit up my desire to get back in the printmaking studio (formerly a ‘second home’) very soon again to continue exploring. Thank you to the great Opal and the excellent community of artists, educators and staff that make up the Woodstock School of Art.

I’m really so pleased that this large monotype (along with two other large one’s in a similar color family) were selected by a sweet young family who popped by @_woodstockschoolofart for the Art Fair/Upstate Art weekend.

A really nice opening yesterday at Opus 40 in this rustic space that curator Jen Dragon turned into a great little exhibit space - with such creative and diverse explorations with cardboard as its substrate. Just a few snaps before it got crowded. And thanks for all that came out and great to meet new folk as well. The exhibit is up through September 1. • photos: left side to back left wall - my two pieces; Christy Rupp’s antlers above; Ian Laughlin’s piece on pedestal; Joe Digg’s series of 12; Lowell Miller (side view); Henry Klimowicz’s hanging cardboard sculpture work and collagraph print. I’ll have to go back to get the rest of the back and right side. Highly recommend - such a creative take with cardboard - and Opus 40 is a magical visit always and a place to continue returning with Jen Dragon’s changing exhibits. Thank you, Jen for such a great concept for artists to express with. • ‘Opus 40 Inc, founded in 1978 after Harvey’s death by his wife, Barbara, now comprises Opus 40, Fite’s 6.5 acre sculpture, as well as 63 acres of meadows, forested quarry trails, and historic buildings like the Fite House, Fite’s home and original studio, and the Quarryman’s Museum, his homage to local quarrymen.’ - opus40.org • #opus40 #jendragon #joediggs #henryklimowicz #ianlaughlin #christyrupp #crosscontemporaryprojects #worksoncardboard #saugertiesny #woodstockny #harveyfite @joediggsart @henryklimowicz @christy_rupp @laughlin.ian @crosscontemporaryart | photo of Opus40: Opus40.org

Thinking about the upcoming Monoprint Invitational at Woodstock School of Art - the annual event where invited artists have the opportunity to work with a master printer - and happy to work with the very creative artist, Opal DeRuvo - so while I tend to go into the printmaking studio and create in an improvisational way, for the ‘Monothan’, to be most productive with the time allotted, having some idea direction is helpful. At the moment, I’m still contemplating and will keep this one in mind but surely any idea will only be a seed for something totally different coming through. Also, I’m scheduled to be a press assistant for master printer and fantastic artist @juliovaldezstudio for one session as he works with other invited artists. Always a great week at Woodstock School of Art, filled with energy, great creativity and camaraderie - culminating in an exhibit (Sept 13) - it’s biggest fundraising event for the school. More on that soon. @_woodstockschoolofart • #monotype #monoprint #monoprintinvitational #woodstockschoolofart #woodstockny @sayyoudo | 10x8 plate on Rives BFK, framed size 16.5x14.

And a new catalogue is born for the remarkable, exquisitely inspirational Yale Epstein - longtime educator/artist and a Woodstock, NY favorite though his work has been exhibited internationally. Yale is also a longtime design client and a good friend, whom I cherish, and delighted to still be designing for him after so many years. This catalogue features a snapshot of work in various genres with two beautiful essays written by gallerist Albert Shahinian, and another by Nicole Goldberg, executive director of WAAM. And catch Yale’s great work at Albert Shahinian Fine Art, Rhinebeck, NY August 2 - October 26, with opening reception next Saturday 8/2 from 4-7pm (it will be a gallery hopping day) - with an Artist Talk 9/14 from 2-4pm. @yaleepstein @albert_shahinian_fine_art • #yaleepstein #nicolegoldberg @waamart #artistwhoinspires #rhinebeckny #woodstockny #artistcatalogues #artistcatalog #designforartists #designforthearts | see more catalogues at susannaronner.com

Figured out a great way to hang these cardboard pieces (right side / one of two pieces in the exhibit) and testing it out on my own wall - and I can see they will work well in the woodsy setting that is the space that creative curator Jen Dragon of @crosscontemporaryart carved out amidst the stunning views of Opus 40. I look forward to seeing the cardboard creations of those in this group exhibit. Opening reception this Sunday 7/27 from 3-5 pm, Saugerties, NY. • “CORRUGATED, a group show featuring work by Michael Ballou, Mara Clawson, Joe Diggs, Adrian Frost, Rah Gerg, Wendy Klemperer.

Repost from @juddfoundation • “Color will always be interpreted in a new way, so that I hardly think my use is final, in fact I think it is a beginning. Infinite change may be its constant nature.” —Donald Judd Judd’s multicolored works are made of thin sheets of metal bent into a shallow box or “pan,” which were powder coated and enameled using colors from the RAL European Industrial color system. He established relationships between colors based on properties such as saturation and value. In a list from February 11, 1984, he noted some of these possible combinations, such as, “All colors, same value / All values, same color / Sharp colors, possible values / Full colors, possible values,” and so on. He made a number of works for the wall using the same technique, including the one picture here permanently installed at Casa Perez, one of his ranch houses. Referred to as a “high” piece, this untitled work from 1987 is installed high enough on a wall so that the primary view is from the bottom. Like material, Judd considered color to exist independently of what it might mean symbolically, as such color in art was what a work was made of. The study and knowledge of color was of particular importance for him; he thought artists should be taught about color, both technically and philosophically, as well as within the context of the history of art. In his last essay, ‘Some Aspects of Color in General and Red and Black in Particular,’ written on the occasion of the Sikkens Prize award Judd wrote of the multicolored works: “I wanted all of the colors to be present at once. I didn’t want them to combine. I wanted a multiplicity all at once that I had not known before.” Read ‘Some Aspects of Color in General and Red and Black in Particular,’ for free on our website.

Went through my stored archive of design work in print for many, many, many clients, and opened the box of saved t-shirts I designed for my clients (ie, WDST, Woodstock Land Conservancy and others) and decided it was time to unbox and distribute these great shirts - so Tani inherited this one (among others). This one designed for radio personality/music presenter maverick and friend, Nic Harcourt, for the album ‘Alternative Woodstock’. Nic wanted a peace sign but there was no way I would create something standard so this gnarly, spiked version was perfect for this compilation album which included cd design, poster (designed his ‘Slice’ record label logo), and t shirt. @nicharcourt liked the look so much, he had it tattooed. • #logodesign #branding #originaldesign #nicharcourt #tanitabbal @tanitabbal

Glad to see that the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce is progressively using the logo I designed for it, pro bono, in 2022.

A new catalogue is born for the incomparable, inspiring artist (and activist to her core), Mary Frank @mary___frank - an expansive look at her new Mixed Media Collage, as well as Ceramic Sculpture, and not seen before Works on Paper gems plucked from her flat files. The catalogue includes a thoughtful essay reflection from artist/close friend David Hornung, along with Mary’s own flow of personal sentiments about life, nature, process. The catalogue (the third I’ve designed for her) coincides with her upcoming exhibit at Elena Zang Gallery (in the Woodstock, NY hamlet of Shady) with an Opening Reception on Saturday, August 2 (save the date)! It’s a joy to create for Mary who has also become a beloved friend - a pure honor to step into Mary’s world.

Repost from @calderfoundation • “Black was by far Calder’s most used color,” writes Alexander S. C. Rower. “He relied on its light-absorbing qualities to delineate where the material meets the immaterial, where metal meets the air ... The pierced voids in Calder’s works, especially the black ones, act as portals to extradimensional experiences.” In 2018, Hauser & Wirth (@hauserwirth) presented Calder: Nonspace, an exhibition that presented primarily monochromatic, abstract sculptures in which Calder created volumes out of voids. Stabiles, mobiles, and standing mobiles wove through a specially designed environment by architect Stephanie Goto (@stephaniegoto), conceived to reveal intuitive spatial relationships.   Images: Installation views, Calder: Nonspace, Hauser & Wirth, Los Angeles.

Repost from @pinkwatergallery • Native New Yorker and current resident of Bearsville, Susanna Ronner @susannaronner_art has a unique sensibility that lends much to her monotype fine art practice. The clean, bold lines and shapes she applies to the picture plane are a studied visual language honed over years of working as a graphic designer. Ronner has recently returned to her roots in painting and is experimenting with adding painted elements to her monotypes, moving her work in exciting new directions. This work, from the recent ‘Over Under’ series, is on view for just one more week at Pinkwater Gallery -@- Kingston Social, alongside a couple of cheeky monotypes titled ‘Chatterbox’. These works are also available for purchase on the gallery website at pinkwatergallery.com and note, we offer the option of local pickup or, we ship everywhere in the continental United States!

A new catalogue is born for the versatile and poignant artist, Joe Diggs, for his upcoming exhibits in Provincetown, MA - with beautiful essays by art critic, writer Seph Rodney @sephsees and former Brattleboro Museum of Art curator, Mara Williams. Joe is the recipient of the 2025 Arts Foundation of Cape Cod award. Working on this project was special in that there was a team of great folk involved and surrounding Joe - abstract photographer Grace Hopkins @gracefhl (daughter of artist Budd Hopkins and art historian April Kingsley); CCNY doctoral lecturer Nancy Cardwell; curator Mara Williams; and art strategist Jen Dragon of Cross Contemporary Projects @crosscontemporaryart and of course, Joe Diggs - a fantastic group of heart and minds and it’s been a joy to be a part of it all and to visually express Joe’s work through the design of this catalogue - and the intent to reach a wider audience which he deserves. Congratulations to Joe Diggs @joediggsart. • #bertawalkergallery #paam #afcc #provincetownartassociationofcapecod #capecodartist #artfoundationofcapecod #joediggs #gracehopkins #jendragon #sephrodney #aprilkingsley #bertawalker #designforartists #designforthearts #graphicdesignerartist #catalogdesign #cataloguedesign #graphicdesignforthearts

Ellsworth’s black forms, across time and mediums. The artist would often turn to this palette when he wanted to investigate form and little else: “It is,” he said, “the complete absence of color and the totality of light.”  #EllsworthKelly

Repost from @calderfoundation • While Calder primarily used sheet metal in his sculpture, he experimented with many different materials including wood. “Eventually he worked in a multitude of wood varieties, both common and exotic, which he exploited for their various qualities: walnut, maple, oak, ash, rosewood, ebony, mahogany, purpleheart, lignum vitae, and others,” writes Alexander S. C. Rower. “As in the sculptures of Calder’s friend Brâncuşi, the texture of the chisel and the rasp remained part of the aesthetic. He would carve, smooth, and occasionally paint the individual wooden elements, then lay them out on a table and assemble them with vigor.”    Image: The Black Spoon (1945), wood, rod, wire, and paint. © 2025 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York    #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

A wonderful solo exhibit up now at Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild/Kleinert Center for the Arts - Andrew Lyght /‘Touch Wood’ with his dimensional, constructive work (@woodstock_byrdcliffe_guild features a great little video by @littlebitcreates in collaboration with @insideoutupstateny of the art and the artist). And as always, I’m happy to design the exhibition banners (and gallery guide) for each of the Byrdcliffe exhibits. Nice to get a little chat with @lyghtandrew and curator/artist @osiaudu Osi Adu - and also writer/editor/art critic @sephsees Seph Rodney - all three in conversation for the Sunday event.

Tonight! Monday, June 2. Roscoe Mitchell will be celebrated with a ‘Lifetime of Achievement’ Award at the Vision Festival. @tanitabbal performs with Roscoe along with Dave Burrell and William Parker at 7pm and the music performances continue the rest of the night. At Roulette/Bklyn. I’ve had the great pleasure of being close up and personal via international tours and recordings, accompanying Tani along with the stellar musicians that are and have been part of Roscoe’s groups. Tani has been performing with Roscoe a very long time (since 1978) and is on 13+ of his recordings. So it will be very special to celebrate Roscoe tonight. I love the nexus of all the arts and being immersed in it all, and surrounded by the great folk that inhabit it with exceptional creativity. • #roscoemitchell #daveburrell #williamparker #tanitabbal #artsforart #visionfest2025 #roulette

Karen Karnes was one of my first, and beloved early mentors - exhibiting what it is to live an artists life, and just as importantly, to be a strong, creative woman, with an independent spirit. She was not only my teacher for the brief moment she taught at Hunter College, NYC, coinciding with my fairly brief time there (before my continuing on elsewhere as fine arts major, and later, majoring in graphic design) - but we bonded and remained friends and in touch for a good while. I cherish a small covered jar in her signature salt glaze that she gifted me. We fell out of touch as the years progressed but the strength of her strong spirit and grace, still resides within me. And I thank her for that gift of being. • “Karen Karnes (1925-2016)…one of the icons of contemporary ceramics. Born in Brooklyn, she came of age with the post-war generation of artists, the seminal growth that set the stage for art in the second half of the 20th century. Karnes was part of two legendary art communities that focused this energy: Black Mountain College in NC and the Gate Hill community in NY. Black Mountain, led by Josef Albers…included students such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Ruth Asawa and Robert Rauschenberg…Karnes then became part of Gate Hill, a cooperative community, for 25 years where she built her studio and kiln, deepened friendships with M.C. Richards, Mikhail Zakin, and met Ann Stannard, who became her lifetime companion…As Zakin said of her friend, “I have never known any artist who has lived her life and made her art with such integrity and with such clear unswerving sense of purpose.” And paraphrasing what Karnes once said to me: “I am like a whale underwater quietly pulsing along, doing what I do, no matter what obstacles appear in my path.” Lucy Lacoste • • Her work is in the Asheville Art Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Arts and Design, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum. @lucylacostegallery | #karenkarnes #blackmountaincollege #gatehill #mentor

Congratulations again to @judykirpich and @schulz1376 on an outstanding body of work. I would have loved to see it in person but delighted in being absorbed in their art as I designed their catalogue. • Repost from @internationalquiltmuseum • Last chance! June 7 is the final exhibition day for “Studio Showcase: Judy Kirpich and Karen Schulz,” so view it while you can! “Studio Showcase” features new work by artists Judy Kirpich and Karen Schulz. The quilts initially appear radically different – consider the dark saturated color of Kirpich’s pieces composed of a unique fabric sourced in China in contrast to the colorful hand-dyed and painted layers of Schulz’s work. Both artists, however, create pieces that transform the flat dimension of their textile canvases into a space that invites the viewer to immerse themselves. • #abstractquilt #theartofquilting #designforartists #catalogdesign #cataloguedesign #judykirpich #karenschulz #internationalquiltmuseum #contemporaryquilts
