Hi,

sorry for the spam to the entire list. I'll be in Portland, OR for a few
days next week (work related trip). If there are any bareners familiar with
Portland's printmaking scene, can you get in touch with me off-list with

course, if there are bareners living in Portland, I'd be delighted to meet
them.

Thank you,
Tibi

I watched a small group of Canada Geese land on the lake...



Seeing them against the reflected light was a wonderful illustration of a point that I wanted to make - the fact that sometimes opportunities present themselves like this; sometimes we "see" the world as engravings.



A brisk and welcome walk (accompanied by ominous thunder) to Chipotle and an equally welcome burrito set me up for my presentation before the assembled engravers and guests. I spoke about my development as an engraver, my influences and the way that I work, emphasising my belief in the importance of sketchbook work. The audience listened to me kindly and patiently. I enjoyed a most pleasant afternoon meeting people.

In the evening, we ate pizza and enjoyed the first of two sessions during which members made their own presentations of work.

All in all, a most . . .
