BEYOND Botanicals, a Pop-up exhibit in the Alden Studio Galley, showcases the work of artists who discover inventive ways to use botanical prints in combination with other printmaking techniques, bookmaking, quilting, and painting.

Artists represented: Barbara Ford Doyle, Emilie Marks, Linda Bodin, Natalie Timoshin, Amy Jasperson, Rebecca Sher, Lauren Anzivino, Petrina Garbarini, Alan Trugman.

Continue to explore printmaking without a press.  The reusable, flexible, gelatin plate is coated with a thin layer of acrylic paint.  Stencils and natural botanical materials are pressed onto the surface. Assorted papers laid on top of the plate “pull” negative and detailed “ghost” prints.

Winter Art 2024 is geared towards younger artists and critics, with work hung lower than standard.

Inspired by the playful work of Carla Sondheim, I printed a “blob” monotype and gave my husband a set of Posca pens asking him to create an animal. I titled and framed it. Proof that everyone is an artist!

Upcycled Crazy Quilt

Living in a consumer throw-away society, we have an overwhelming supply of trash.

The term “crazy quilting” refers to a kind of patchwork made of pieces of cloth of various colors, patterns, shapes, and sizes. My adaptation uses discarded packaging materials glued to 6"x 6" Masonite panels. Each collage is overlayed with text appropriated from grocery bags printed on thin rice paper and sealed with epoxy resin. The squares are connected randomly.

DAY 1: *Forget about good. Print acrylic monotype backgrounds on Yupo paper.

DAY 2: *Begin anywhere. Make a collagraph master with Bic® pen drawing. Print a series of monoprints on tengucho paper.

DAY 3: *Love your experiments. Combine monoprints and collage materials on Yupo paper backgrounds.

DAY 4: *Process is more important than outcome. Make another collagraph master and transfer image to gelatin plate. Back paint by masking areas and drying between colors. Pull print with Fluid matte medium.

DAY 5: * Collaborate. Experiments with charcoal, soft pastel chalks, magazine, and laser transfers.

45th Anniversary Exhibition

I combine gelatin monotypes as backgrounds for mixed media work.  Swirls of black and red acrylic are printed onto Yupo paper. Thin layers of tissue paper are collaged over the monotypes. The final layer is a photo transfer.

My inspiration for Environs is low pressure weather systems that impact Cape Cod and unfortunately produce storms causing coastal erosion.

Opening Reception: February 3, from 4PM to 7PM

Opacity can be found everywhere in everything, both literally and metaphorically.  This theme was selected as a framework, providing CCMoA Members a launching point to consider the many possible ways these attributes can be expressed visually within their art.

Legacy is tangible and intangible. It is defined as everything from a gift by will, especially of money or other personal property to something philosophical or cultural transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor.

Original virtual reality (VR). The world in a stereograph seems transcendent, a hyper-real path for the viewer to travel from plane to plane.  It is a simulated experience where two slightly offset images of the same scene are meant to trick your brain into synthesizing spatial depth.

One criteria I focused on...Was a monochromatic vision better than say a color version of the image and did this contribute to the ultimate message the artist was trying to get across to me, the viewer?—Jennifer Schlesinger

Months after Hurricane Dorian, the Abaco Islands are still devastated. More than 600 undocumented residents may have drown and been washed out to sea. With the guidance of Bob Korn Imaging, I hope to present a benefit 'pop-up" exhibit at his gallery later this year.

Call for art: Interiors can mean various things to different people.  It can be a representational viewpoint from inside a home, workplace, studio or café - often it can have a nostalgic sensibility or evoke a feeling of security. A person might identify with a place of worship or even a forest, to express their internal self.  Internalized feelings and emotions may resonate within an interior.  

I'm revisiting this series of work inspired by Allen Ginsberg's A Supermarket in California by making transfers and emulsion lifts that mimic outdated Polaroid processes. 

Ginsberg explains: The penumbras, a word meaning “shroud” or “partial illumination,” are meant to designate the secrets that such displays of nature …hide. Photography allows us to see mysterious internal worlds—the sensual concavities of a peach or red pepper.

Mannequins are inanimate objects with an uncanny sense of aliveness. As substitutes for human beings, they become icons of art. To reflect my sensibilities and understanding of the history of photography, I reprocess film and analogue darkroom techniques with black and white digital inversions.
