In late August 2025, I responded to an open call entailing submission of an emotionally driven body of hand-pulled etchings from the early 2000’s. There always does seem to be an entry now and then that regardless of acceptance or not, I simply know there is something I’m meant to learn from the process. This was one of those times.
It was a humbling experience to have worked with this organization and to be included amongst 14 artists of such caliber. The bar was set high, and I am eternally grateful for everyone’s expertise and patience. A special thanx goes to my editor, Margaret Niven.
I’ve included the editorial crew’s statement below. And I invite you to not only enjoy this stunning and contemplative annual, but to visit the CA Society of Printmakers website, as well.
EDITORIAL STATEMENT
“Since the time of cave images, printmaking has been a powerful medium for storytelling. Diverse techniques offer a range of visual languages to the artists, whose involvement with process helps them engage with the story. This journal explores visual stories through the lens of nature and climate, politics and society, introspection and family history. The printmakers featured in this journal elevate their unique visual perspectives, allowing them to become the voice of our society.”
