If you know me, you know I love colour. But lately I’ve started a new series in black and white. Is it the simplicity and elegance of that combination? A reaction to the world losing its appreciation of the value of greys? Come see the start of the collection at the Print Expo &Fair at Howard Iron Works on Saturday, 10-4, then later that evening and on Sunday at the Cotton Factory’s Harvest Market. Busy weekend ahead!! #printmaker #originalart @howardironworksmuseum @thecottonfactory #welcomefall🍁🍂 taken in Howard Iron Works Printing Museum by @nomadbev

It’s been a busy few weeks. I was privileged to give a talk and gel printing demonstration to the Markham Artists Group. A great turnout with lots of good questions and interest in gel printing. A special treat was seeing @carmelacasuccio_art , a friend from my Toronto days. Over the weekend, I was one of 5 artists presenting different printmaking techniques to the Burlington Fine Arts Association. Another fun, well received demonstration. Yesterday was about playing with gelli prints in my studio - I layered acrylic inks for grunge effects and drew on my plates with Sharpies. You can see the results of all these events below. This is your invitation to come to my studio May 19 for a workshop with gel plates. Spend an afternoon with me for fun and creative rewards. DM me for details. #markhamartist #burlingtonfineartsassociation #printmaker #artworkshop #gelliprinting taken in Hamilton, Ontario by @nomadbev

I am delighted to be part of the Dundas Valley School of Art Auction @dvsa.ca this year. It’s my first year participating in their annual auction. I’m so excited I have 5 bids on my “Lyrical Tulip Tree Leaf” print and the bids are open through tomorrow. Last night was the live auction but you can still bid for the online auction and see the art at DVSA. So much beautiful art for a really good cause. #supportthearts #buyartfromlivingartists #artforlife #dundasont by @nomadbev

In my workshops, I’m often asked about layering paint on a gelli plate. I took a past its prime tulip and printed it in black. After that layer dried, I used a paint brush to add the petal and leaf colours. The first image is the plate waiting for the final layer. The next layer was added with a brayer then the paper. Wait, wait, wait for that to dry then I pulled the print - “Black Tulip”, 8” x 10” on mixed media paper. #printmaker #gelliprint #monoprint #printbotanicals #hamontartist taken in Cotton Factory by @nomadbev
