Pollinators— most often bees, butterflies, birds, and bats are critical to fruit and seed production. The pesticide Imidacloprid is believed to be one of the main causes for Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) amongst bees.

I haven't blogged in a while.... yes it is hot and humid. No excuse to not be online. Currently, I am silk screening. I printed color #12 two days ago, which I hope will be an edition of 45 with a little under 20 colors. Check back with me in mid September. I plan to have it done by then.

On the drawing front, I am doing pollinators -- bees to be exact. They will end up in etchings and perhaps as a silkscreen print, too.


I am collaborating on a frame/altar project with David D'Orio from DC GlassWorks and Sculpture Studios  and Vincent Villafranca, an incredible bronze sculptor. See the first results here. There is more to come, so stay tuned.
