Absorbing, curious about what’s next to be explored in printmaking. I never go in with a plan - just an impulse - and that currently has been on the simplicity of line + shape, and on a larger scale. • Monotype on 22x30 Rives BFK • left: two plates stacked 24x14.5, one pass through the press | right: 16x20 plate, multiple passes through the press • @_woodstockschoolofart • #monotype #lines #shape #artonpaper #geometric

Will be dropping this off soon to Byrdcliffe’s Annual Members’ exhibit ‘All the All’. This is a ‘unique’ serigraph/silkscreen - only three made in this color with each having the arrangement of the screens different in orientation (thus ‘unique’ and one of a kind). • Exhibition dates: February 27 – April 12 Opening Reception: Saturday, February 28 3-5 PM Woodstock, NY • Serigraph • 28x22 on Rives BFK • created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio • #serigraph #silkscreen #geometricart #artonpaper #woodstockny | @woodstockguild.org

When your beloved four legged isn’t well (this photo from a few weeks back) nothing else matters except their return to themselves. It was touch and go for this 10 yr old this past week and only this morning does it look like he is getting beyond what was ailing him and hopefully an isolated blip. I’m breathing a sign of relief for this moment. In this photo he had just been sniffing the new book on the coffee table - the Art of Wifredo Lam from a recent trek to MoMA. •

I’ve let go of some ‘Mezzo’s that I’ve held onto as they were particularly pivotal - and this among them - to add to a grouping of new work that I’m really fond of - and all dropped off today @MVNDesign - along with others in this series plus it’s smaller ‘Piccola’s. And do pop in as there is art and other great curated items from the eye of interior designer, Michael Van Nort. • ‘Mezzo’ No.14 • Mixed Media - collage with painted paper • 10x10.5 on Arches 300lb paper • framed size 17x17.25 • MVN Design, 48 Main Street, Kingston, NY - and across from the Old Dutch Church - check @mvndesign for winter hours and available by appointment. • #collage #mixedmedia #uptownkingstonny #hudsonvalleyny

This piece remains pivotal in my thoughts for its absence yet presence which was a marked change. There is something in its simplicity yet confident line, that I intend to continue exploring. I think my intense focus in painted paper/mixed media collage has provided a freedom in color/shape/line exploration, continuing to fill a particular visual yearning - and as a result, has allowed me to also free my printmaking - giving room for finding a new direction within the medium, and at this moment, it’s toward simplicity. • Monotype • 16x20 plate on Rives BFK printmaking paper • framed size 28x22 • created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio • #monotype #printmaking #contemporaryprintmaking #artonpaper #geometricart

Framing, framing, absorbing ‘Mezzo’ No.34. This is one of six ‘Mezzo’s plus six ‘Piccola’s heading to @mvndesign this week. I think this little chair by Pauline Decarmo seems to insist on photobombing the snap and that’s okay. • Mezzo series • Mixed media - collage with painted paper, indirect mark making • 10x10.5 on Arches 300 lb paper • framed size 17x17.25 • #mixedmedia #contemporarycollage #paintedpaper #geometricabstraction #colorshapecomposition

Happy birthday, Robert Motherwell. • repost @dedalusfoundation: 1 of 3: In 1979, Robert Motherwell created an upwards of one hundred oil paintings on paper known as his “Drunk with Turpentine” series. The spontaneous, energetic approach that Motherwell adopted in this series would go on to inform a number of his larger works on canvas.

Such an outstanding exhibit. • repost @themuseumofmodernart - How did Ruth Asawa develop her groundbreaking looped wire sculptures? Through the “continuous form within a form,” Ruth Asawa radically reinvented what a sculpture can be. “In the case of Asawa, this meant suspending it in space,” says Cara Manes, Associate Curator, Department of Painting and Sculpture. “They’re responsive to light, to motion, to air currents.” Plan your visit! Don’t miss “Ruth Asawa: A Retrospective,” on view at MoMA through February 7. Head to YouTube to watch more from our short documentary on Asawa’s life and practice that features family members, a curatorial interview, and Asawa’s own words. Link in bio.

‘Piccola’ No. 34. This always had a bit of whimsy in my view. The ‘Piccola’ series was created as an almost daily endeavor of which 43 were created. Happily, many went to collectors via MVN Design in Kingston, NY and will continue to do so. Arches 300lb is cut up and ready. I’m cycling between working in three sizes/series at this moment - ‘Vasto’, ‘Mezzo’ and soon to start back in with ‘Piccola’. • Mixed media collage with painted paper, indirect mark making • 6x6.5 on Arches 300lb paper • framed size 11.5x13.75 • ‘Piccola’ series selections @mvndesign • #collage #worksonpaper #paintedpaper #mixedmedia  #artonpaper

It’s been a few years since I created this limited series of three unique silkscreens in these colors, but feeling ready to dip back in for another series at some point in this year. Making multiples (edition) of the same image is not interesting to me but varying how the three screens are configured does. • Serigraph/Silkscreen | 28x22 on Rives BFK | created @_woodstockschoolofart printmaking studio.

Glad to see the Woodstock Chamber of Commerce using the logo I designed for it, pro bono, in 2022. Woodstock, NY is certainly filled with great art organizations, shops, service entities and a passionate community. I do love to beautify my town - even if folk sometimes don’t know who is behind the visuals they see. This is one iteration with its typography, with other configurations provided, depending on usage needs. Logos become more beloved and identified with use and time. And I appreciate the Chamber’s dedicated crew promoting the area businesses and events. • #logodesign #woodstockny #woodstockchamberofcommerce #givingtothecommunity | logo design and more - susannaronner.com

Repost from @calderfoundation • Calder made countless domestic interventions in his home in Roxbury in addition to his formal works of art. “It was common for Calder to repair an object instead of replacing it, preferring to improve on a design than depend on an unreliable mass-produced substitute,” writes Kaitlyn A. Kramer (@k888lyn). “With a deep-blue Mexican wine glass that had lost its steam, he inverted the vessel and fastened wire around the neck, where he set four glass shards to dangle, producing a divine dinner bell.”   Image: Dinner bell (c. 1942). © 2022 Calder Foundation, New York / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York #Calder #AlexanderCalder #CalderFoundation

As we move from one rotation to the next, all good wishes in 2026. • Repost from @calderfoundation • When Calder famously visited Piet Mondrian’s studio in 1930, he suggested that the cardboard rectangles tacked to one of the walls for compositional experimentation be made to “oscillate.” While Mondrian was dismissive of the idea, Calder started exploring it in his own work a couple of years later, creating a series of paintings in motion—“frames” and “panels” that consisted of moving abstract forms set in front of colored plywood panels or within boxlike frames.

As this year comes to a close, honoring and thinking about our friend and my design client, musician Jack DeJohnette. In addition to the design of his Grammy winning album ‘Peace Time’ (2007), I recently designed this logo for Jack’s archival recordings. A new release on Blue Note from Jack and Lydia DeJohnette’s archive incorporated one version of how the logo can be used. The logo needed the ability to also be used very small, as shown here, tucked into the back of the album cover designed by Blue Note. I thank both Jack and Lydia for the privilege and joy in working with them both. We miss Jack as does the rest of the music listening world, as well as his close friendship, but music lives on, and thank goodness for that. Many know Jack as only a drummer but his first instrument was piano, and the logo makes a subtle reference to that in its letter configuration. • #jackdejohnette #bluenote | see more design - susannaronner.com

Excellent and expansive exhibit @themuseumofmodernart of the art of Wifredo Lam. For those that can’t get there, MoMA’s site has several short documentaries. “Wifredo Lam’s paintings expanded the horizons of modernism by creating a meaningful space for the beauty and depth of Black diasporic culture. Born in Cuba at the start of the 20th century, Lam forged his political convictions and commitment to modern painting in war-torn Europe in the 1930s. His exile and return to the Caribbean after 18 years abroad drove him to radically reimagine his artistic project through Afro-Caribbean histories. For Lam, who was of African and Chinese descent, crafting his vivid new imaginary was more than a means of self-reflection. He famously declared that his art was an “act of decolonization.” His formal experiments, his transforming figures and landscapes, and his affinity for poetry and collaboration allowed him to disrupt and overcome the colonial structures he encountered in art and in life. “I knew I was running the risk of not being understood either by the man in the street or by the others,” Lam said, “but a true picture has the power to set the imagination to work, even if it takes time.” Wifredo Lam: When I Don’t Sleep, I Dream is the first retrospective in the United States to feature the full trajectory of Lam’s remarkable vision, inviting us to see the world anew.” • #wifredolam #moma

Helen Frankenthaler @themuseumofmodernart - it took my breath away when walking into the space. A handful of pieces but exceptional and potent. Incredible to see in its airy open space, and yet get close up to see the texture and subtle color variations of the washed paint on unprimed canvas. • #helenfrankenthaler #moma #museumofmodernart

A spectacular day @themuseumofmodernart - and to finally see the work of Ruth Asawa up close, in all its intricacy, delicacy and strength, was truly moving. Beautifully curated and expansive. But also thrilling was seeing the work of Wifredo Lam and Helen Frankenthaler (more on those two in another post). And with my perfect trekking friend, @paulakaganart. We had thought we could maybe squeeze in a particular gallery hop that was in my scope, but just not enough hours in this day. • Growing up in NYC, I started going to MoMA as a subway trekking pre-teen/teen (taking classes there for ‘young people’), and then after, when at the renowned Music & Art HS, it became a second home for all us art majors - and though the museum continues to change, evolve, expand, it holds a special place in my soul.

Repost from @vasilikaliman • A Mondrian painting from 1938 as stripped-down as you will ever see, and a rare glimpse into an artist’s working methods that reveal the evident fastidiousness underlying his paintings. This charcoal on canvas is among a limited body of Mondrian’s unfinished works — where each line, intersection and erasure bears the artist’s hand, a testament to his meticulous deliberation over time, and the sorts of details typically concealed by subsequent layers of paint. … Swipe left for an image of this work in the MoMA retrospective of the artist in 1994. ... #PietMondrian (1872-1944) charcoal on canvas from 1938

‘Vasto’ No.6 @pinkwatergallery -@- @kingstonsocialny - and I hope it brings the buyers much joy. 20x16, from this new painted paper/mixed media collage series to make its debut. Framed. • Holiday à la maison collection. • #mixedmedia #collage #paintedpaper #geometric #colorabstraction

Pinkwater Gallery is delighted to be showing new works by Susanna Ronner @susannaronner_art in our Holiday 2025 à la maison collection. Susanna Ronner, with whom we have had a years long relationship, is a graphic designer and artist working with monotype and mixed media/collage who resides in Bearsville near Woodstock, NY. She continues to move her artistic practice jn wonderful new directions, pushing her distinctive work to new heights with experiments in form and presentation. The handsome pieces in her ‘Vasto’ series are a testament to her mastery of craft and her ability to subtly advance her work with style. After attending the High School of Music and Art in New York City, Susanna earned her BFA with honors in Graphic Design from the University of Illinois. From there, she went on to San Francisco and worked for some of the most influential graphic designers on the West Coast. ARTIST STATEMENT “As with jazz, I engage with each piece as an improvisation — I meet the blank ‘canvas’ with curiosity and see where it takes me. This process is instinctive, and one that I trust fully. 

The energetic relationship of shapes as they come together, pull apart, are tied and interrupted by lines, continues to fascinate me. I stay attentive to how the eye moves around the surface, directing the viewer to specific spots. I’m always amazed how one tiny dot of color or element can be exactly what’s needed, or, too much.” The à la maison Holiday 2025 collection from Pinkwater Gallery -@- Kingston Social is on view now at 237 Fair Street in #uptownkingstonny. Featuring works by area artists selected to fit right in to an eclectic art collection, whether you’re just starting out or a longtime collector. Check out the work in person or online at pinkwatergallery.com (link in profile), and if you see something you love, don’t wait!

I would be remiss to not honor what this day means to Native American people, and who are part of my family as well (Choctaw, Cherokee). This is a poster series I designed some years back for Bread and Roses (the cultural arm of Union 1199/NYC), featuring 12 notable Native American Women - posters that reside in the Smithsonian, and included a study guide for the classroom. Especially at this time when our current administration works to remove our real history, it becomes even more important to not let it disappear. Photos for this series: @hulleah Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie. • I came across a message in another post and sharing an excerpt here: Repost core_psych: ‘November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to honor the history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities. As we move through the Thanksgiving season, it’s important to pause and reflect on the complexities of this holiday and its origins. While Thanksgiving is often a celebration of gratitude, family, and connection, it also has a history tied to colonization and the displacement of Native peoples. This duality invites us to hold space for both gratitude and accountability. We can celebrate what Thanksgiving means to us today while also acknowledging the stories and experiences of Indigenous communities that are often left out of mainstream narratives. Taking time to learn about Native history, amplify Indigenous voices, and honor their traditions is one way to foster understanding and healing… This month—and always—let’s strive to move beyond performative gestures and into genuine respect and action. Whether it’s educating ourselves about the real history of Thanksgiving, supporting Native-owned businesses, or donating to causes that uplift Indigenous voices, there are countless ways to honor Native American Heritage Month meaningfully. Together, we can create a space where gratitude and respect coexist.’ #nativeamericanheritagemonth #knowtherealhistory #nativeamerican #thanksgiving

‘Over Under’ No.2 - mid size series. Working over a monotype. The challenge is how to deal with what is on the paper to transform into something else - and I’m always up for a challenge. • Mixed Media / monotype and acrylic painted paper • 10x8 on Rives BFK paper • framed size 16.5x14 • #mixedmedia #collage #geometric#artonpaper #monotype

Inside Ellsworth’s sketchbook from the years 1968 and 1969. Inside, the pages are filled with his sketches in pencil, colored ink, ballpoint and felt-tip pen. He was living in New York City and working on the Upper West Side when he started these pages, though in these years he traveled to Switzerland, Paris, and all along the East Coast of the U.S. If you’re in New York City, stop by @themuseumofmodernart’s Gallery 416. MoMA added more than two dozen of Ellsworth’s sketchbooks to its collection last year, and a selection are on view along with related drawings and paintings.
