So excited to have two of my pieces in the exhibit at the Southwest Print Fiesta in Silver City- a weekend-long celebration of printmaking Oct 8,9 and 10! Please come! southwestprintfiesta.org (I can’t wait to meet more printmakers from both sides of the border!) They have chosen “Ancestral Corn II” and “Maria and Francisco with Xoloitzcuintle” which are both recent woodcut prints, hand-printed at my studio in Albuquerque on a Takach press. The subject of Native corn has been a long-term interest of mine and was part of my thesis and curriculum development at the University of New Mexico. “Maria and Francisco” is a portion of a very large woodcut print that was exhibited at the Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque in 2020, a piece I titled “Pan American Unity” after the 1940’s mural by Diego Rivera. Both woodcut prints have a lot of meaning for me and I’m very glad to have more people seeing them at this event!
