POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I’m approaching one year since I began exploring this new way of working. I’ve spent a year listening and relearning new ways to use this familiar material. Creating this piece with @brianlach / @80westpictures felt like just the right way to mark that milestone. Brian is incredibly talented and such a joy to work with. He came into the studio open minded and quickly had the vision for what it needed to be.

This short film will always be special to me for how perfectly it captured a moment in time when my ideas came faster than my hands could move. The work guided me, and I followed. taken in Asheville, North Carolina by @anna.bryant.art

Before the River Arts District became what it is today, it was a stretch of abandoned industrial buildings along the French Broad River. In 1984, Porge Buck and her husband, Lewis, purchased one of those buildings. They transformed it into Warehouse Studios and relocated the Intaglio Relief Society from Maine to Asheville, helping establish one of the first artist studio buildings in what would become the River Arts District.

Porge was an intaglio printmaker who spent more than 60 years devoted to her craft. Working primarily in etching and mezzotint, she became known for her remarkably detailed prints. Her studio later moved to Black Mountain, where she continued printing for the rest of her life.

In December 2025, Gary Byrd walked into the studio and told me about his dear friend and mentor, Porge Buck. After her passing in 2022, her family was looking for a home for her press, tools, and a collection of her work. More than anything, they hoped her story would continue to be shared.

In January, I carefully relocated her press, flat files, and a large collection of her work to the studio. I spent a lot of time slowly archiving and organizing her things. It gave me a glimpse into the person she was. Her humor, precision and attention to detail was evident everywhere I looked.

It has been an honor to become the caretaker of her press, equipment, and collection. And to share them with the artists and visitors who come to Print House.

On Friday, August 21 from 6–8 pm, we’re hosting an opening reception for 𝙋𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚 𝘽𝙪𝙘𝙠: 𝙎𝙞𝙭 𝘿𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙋𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙩, an exhibition of her prints accompanied by an artist talk from Gary Byrd, who will share memories of Porge’s life and work. The collection will also be available for purchase, offering the opportunity to become a steward of a small piece of Porge’s legacy. We would love for you to join us in celebrating an artist whose impact on Asheville continues to be felt today.

At the studio, every press is given a name and each one is chosen with care. In her honor, I named her press Buck. taken in Print House by @anna.bryant.art

30!!!

A new decade. I don’t feel older, just more me. wow growing up is wildly expansive and people tell you that but you don’t really get it till you do it.

In my twenties I found curiosity again, like the childhood kind. and I love it, I want to ask questions and work with my hands and try things even if I’m not sure it’ll work. I stop to watch how the light sifts through the trees and sparkles across the pavement.

I learned to savor time alone, like truly savor it. that’s where I actually refill.

I relearned how to be human and proudly imperfect. it gives everyone around you the freedom to mess up too.

I learned to trust future me and things bigger than me. to know that I don’t have to have it all figured out to take a step and that most things reveal themselves slowly, and she’ll know what to do when we get there.

I think I’ll spend my thirties learning these things even more and new things I don’t even know I need yet.

I started my 30th rotation by jumping in the lake on Sunday morning. I spent the weekend laughing, dancing, cooking, frolicking, swimming with my people. I spent most of my twenties with many of them doing those same things but it feels different now. but in the good kind of way, like everything means something different now and you savor it more because even though you can play all weekend, somewhere along the way you all grew up, but together. taken in Lake Keowee by @anna.bryant.art

After many months of an inky table and constant work in progress on the bench — I printed my final round for a while, cleaned all the ink off my table and heading into planning mode for some larger works. Maybe my color palettes will shift, only time will tell. But if the shoes are any inclination, probably not. taken in Asheville, North Carolina by @anna.bryant.art
