28th Annual International Small Print Show


The 28th Annual International Small Print Show will be held at the Chicago Printmakers Collaborative, 4912 North Western Ave in Lincoln Square.


The Holiday Season opening begins with a gala atmosphere on December 2nd and 3rd at 11am - 7pm and runs thru January.  Printmakers from around the world are featured and presented as unframed and unmatted work. 

One of my newest pieces is titled "The Crossing" and it reflects my interest in the Chicago River and especially Wolf Point, the first inhabited land in Chicago. Wolf Point, where the Chicago river branches into two rivers, is symbolized by the Y seen in the Chicago municipal emblem on the railing post of the bridge.

Coffee Break at the Tiny Cafe

       "The bridge is up!  Coffee break at the Tiny Cafe at Dearborn"


This new 12" x 9" etching captures the fall ritual on the Chicago River. Chicagoland sailors await their turn bringing their boats to wintertime docks. The Tiny Cafe is a fine spot to capture this tradition.
