Coordinator's comments:

** Note: There is one 'extra' print in this collection, a gift from John Center who languished on the waiting list until the very end. **

Personally I was inspired by the theme and found myself in a whirlpool of images representing all those printmakers, past and present, that continue to fuel my love for the craft. I settled on one representing those past and one that inspires me to this day. In studying the collection of prints, seems the participants also honored both past and present in a surprising diversity of styles and eras. This tells me that printmaking is a vast and worthwhile world and I am happy to continue to make prints and exchange prints with all that will. Enjoy the collection!
