Birds, Cats and Buildings

A huge THANK YOU to visiting artist Jenny Robinson from the San Francisco area for joining us here in Reno for awhile. Jenny's massive trace monotype and drypoint prints have been displayed at Oxbow Press for a few weeks now and will be traveling home with her tomorrow. Through a partnership with the University of Nevada, Reno's Printmaking Department and Eunkang Koh the Oxbow Press has been able to bring Jenny to Reno for a lecture, held today, and a demonstration, to be given on Saturday.

Trace Monotype focuses on the beauty of the drawn line combined with the spontaneity and painterly approach of the multiple drop monotype. Prints will be made on Japanese paper and chine colle’d onto BFK Rives to produce the finished print. This workshop is suitable for all artists as well as seasoned Printmakers. Chine colle can be incorporated onto many work surfaces, including canvas, mixed media works on paper, sculpture, collage etc.

Join us at Oxbow Press this Friday, February 4th at 6:30pm to meet Jenny and admire her beautiful handiwork. Did I mention free food and wine?

Also, the show I've been curating (Birds and Cats: Eternal Nemeses) will be hung next week!  The reception will be held next Saturday, February 12th at 5pm. This will be a really fun show - the theme is cats, birds and the relationship between them - and a great place to pick up a unique gift for Valentine's day. No seriously! The work I've received is all very beautiful and unique in it's own way, and much of it is very reasonably priced - we have a range from $10-$115
