MAPC Conference 2012

Last weekend my good friend Rachel Heberling and I attended the Mid America Print Council 2012 Conference in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.  There are quite a few really good write-ups on Printeresting but of course who would I be if I didn't opine?

Thursday, November 1

Of course as a working woman I was unable to leave Cincinnati until noon on Thursday. After a long drive which took us over into the next time zone and thoroughly confused us, Rachel and I passed over the Mississippi river just as the sun was setting. Every sunset in Missouri was like this and it was the most beautiful part of the trip. We could see it from our hotel room every night over the leaf-filled, half-drained pool and the many fast food billboards that surrounded us.

New Year, New City, New Post

Sorry for the holdup in posting; it's been a wild season.

You may have heard that I had a BFA Thesis show coming up; you would be right! In early December I graduated from Alfred University with my BFA. The works that went into the show can be seen on my website (under the BFA Thesis Exhibition tab).

Since then I've relocated to lovely Cincinnati, Ohio!

Obviously, without the university facilities on my side (and real-life responsibilities knocking at the door) the work that you see on FIFS might be a little different and more sporadic. I am primarily working with collage right now, although my mister and I are trying to get a small darkroom for silkscreening set up in the closet. I am also going to be trying my hand more at photography.

Roundup on cool stuff in Cinci coming soon for all my little ones back in the great Empire State!

P.S. I debated over whether or not to leave the old handle behind and move on to a new blog, but I think for now I'll keep it up. There are a lot of good memories and some good work in this blog, so I would rather see it evolve than leave it as a dusty old archival tome that no one will see.
