Judy asked which school in Philadelphia James'
work is being shown.

Click onto the word "School" and you can find out 
all about the school and a mention of the exhibit.  
Then go back and click onto "Museum" and you 
will find out about the Maxfield Parrish exhibit.

I can assure everyone that it was just as pleasant for me to meet Gayle
as it was apparently pleasant for her to meet me!   Heck, I even got a
big ol' jug of maple syrup out of it.  What more could anyone ask?  :-D

Judy, the show Gayle referred to visiting after the Maxfield Parrish show
was the 1st Alumni Exhibition now up in the Pennsylvania Academy of the
Fine Arts'
1301 Cherry Street gallery.  This show features one of my drawings from
"Prodigies", which you can see if you get to Philly before 31 July.  
However, if you are bound and determined to see something of mine "in the
flesh", there are a couple of more opportunities coming up in the
Philadelphia area.   

You just missed being able to take a peek at one of my woodcuts in the
Hunterdon Museum of Art's 43rd Annual in Clinton NJ (so did I, as the
show coincided with our trip to Eire), but you could still catch two
woodcuts in "Art of the State" at the State Museum in Harrisburg through
12 September 1999, another of the circus freak drawings in "Black and
White" at Bethlehem PA's Banana Factory through 4 September 1999, and the
big one:  Challenge #2 at the Fleisher Art Memorial, 8 January to 6
February 2000.  I hope to feature at least twenty of the "Prodigies"
drawings in this show -- the first time I have been able to exhibit more
than four at a time.

Cheers,
James Mundie

 I loved Gayle's story too about meeting James Mundeeand the coming together of
Bareners.  Ruth Leaf and I met at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and saw
the Eighteenth Century Japanese Print exhibit - it is lovely and will be there
until August 10 - it follows the history of print making from very little color
to full color with some absolutely wonderful and amazing prints.   The only
disappointment was that they don't have a catalog.  Then went to Little Tokio
ate delicious chirashi, then bought some Japanese print paper and sumi ink.  In
August, my husband, Jack and I are going to Horizons in MA where April Volmer
will be teaching the class and on the way  plan to stop and see Matt Brown at
the Sunapee Arts and Craft fair in NH where he will be demonstrating and selling
works.
It reminds me of Dave's opening page.  "Chromoxylographers of the world - Unite!"
Won't be able to make the Manhattan Graphics show in October because Bea Nunee
will become Bea Twonunee by then but I know it will be an exciting show.

Alas, back to the tasks at hand.  I'm finishing my giant print-quilt which I 
hope and pray will be done by the time I leave here for my next MFA residency 
early Aug.  I've printed black ink on white linen. All different shapes, 
sizes, and images, but all subject matter pertaining to home birth. 
Specifically, home birth as it was in the early 70's. (I think I mentioned 
before that I am a midwife, but if not, well, I am.)
While in the states I hope to connect with some woodblock printmaking 
resources. (workshops, people, shows etc)  I'd sure like to try my hand at 
hanga in the next few months.
Cheers,
Sylvia
