Lyndhurst Mansion

My first time exhibiting at Lyndhurst’s outdoor art festival.

This show took me several months to prepare for. From ordering / assembling new framing, tent equipment, signage, marketing materials, packaging, furniture, and lots of many little details- I can say it was totally worth it. Yes, I sold lots of my work- but even more, I had many awesome conversations about my work and the art of printmaking. Especially woodblock reduction printmaking. Some never heard of the art form and it was so gratifying to teach someone how special woodblock printmaking is. Then, there were other great convos with those who had lots of knowledge from wood properties like woodgrain, to celebrity printmakers they knew, and the finer details of printmaking like presses, paper, and gauges. I am so happy to of met all the people I chatted with and the fellow artists I spent those four long days with. I thank everyone who came out to the show and a huge massive thank you to those art lovers out there that support my work.
