Green Landscape With Trees

June 2017 we took a wonderful trip to Japan and saw so many amazing things. Refer to previous blog posts to read about the trip. Here is the art I created inspired by my travel to Japan. I used traditional printmaking techniques as well as some digital imagery. I used Japanese papers for all the collage work.

This series of mixed media monotypes was inspired by my trip to the National Parks. I started with an image from an iPhone which I manipulated in Photoshop and had printed by Van Gogh Again. I then used traditional printmaking techniques as well as collage in layers to get the effects I wanted.

They were first shown at Da Vinci Art Alliance in May 2018 in Through Our Eyes. Several of them have been chosen to be in an invitational show at the Brandywine Workshop this summer.

Touring Friends

We were a mighty group of over 50 people from various places: Great Neck, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore. Our leaders Leah and Harvey Krasnow and our tour Guide Phil Rodd and his lovely wife and assistant Sarabeth made everything go smoothly!! Thanks to Fivie for great food!

The ruach (spirit) of the group was so wonderful and I hope to see everyone again soon- maybe on another Touring Friends Trip!!

Driving to Las Vegas

I sat in the front row on the bus ride to Las Vegas, Nevada. it was like being on a scenic tour just getting to the next stop!!  Beautiful country all along the route!! This tour of National Parks was exceptional in every way. Thank you Touring Friends!!

More Zion National Park

This is an amazing place of great beauty and grandeur! How lucky we have national parks to protect wilderness and natural beauty.

Zion National Park

Zion National Park is a southwest Utah nature preserve distinguished by Zion Canyon’s steep red cliffs. Zion Canyon Scenic Drive cuts through its main section, leading to forest trails along the Virgin River. The river flows to the Emerald Pools, which have waterfalls and a hanging garden. Also along the river, partly through deep chasms, is Zion Narrows wading hike.

Another sensational park so big and beautiful!! Great rock formations!
