Explorative Painting

Brandywine Workshop and Archive

The Brandywine Workshop and Archive is an institution in Philadelphia with a history of at least 60 years working with artist to make prints of their work. They have an extraordinary collection of prints from many of 20th-21st Century greatest artists. It’s really immense and impressive. One area  filled with gigantic printing presses is amazing to say the least. Just looking around the rooms with art hanging everywhere is awe inspiring. 

I am honored and grateful beyond belief to say I was selected this year through a Libby Newman fellowship grant to  create a print for their collection. 

Now the work begins and frankly I don’t know what I am doing . I feel in good hands though through the help and mentoring of director Allan Edmunds and Gustavo Garcia.
