I am pleased to announce that 12 pieces of my art have been acquired by the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art as part of the collection “Work from the Digital Art Studio”. The Museum’s linked news release, “Stanley Museum of Art Acquires Pioneering Digital Art Collection”, gives an overview of the acquisition.

This historically significant collection documents my work with Bonny Lhotka and Karin Schminke, collaborating as Digital Atelier, in the integration of digital technologies and traditional art materials. The Digital Atelier page on the Museum website includes images of the 35 pieces in the collection and provides information on the artists and the processes involved.

Bonny, Karin and I are honored that the University of Iowa recognized the historical significance of this body of work and will be maintaining both the art and the story behind it. The collection will be exhibited, incorporated into educational programs and made available to researchers, students and the public and we look forward to being a part of those efforts.

The Guild of Book Workers included my article, written during the pandemic,  Revisiting Travel Journals While Sheltering in Place, in Volume 51 of their Journal. Since 1997 I’ve averaged two journals a year, exploring concepts related to the places I visited, incorporating ephemera gathered along the way and giving my travels an underlying purpose. This 8 page article, written during the pandemic, focuses on 29 of the journals from my ongoing adventures.

My Facebook page contains news on my exhibits and activities. My archives and the 100+ books from “Book + Art” are in the University of Miami Libraries. Others are found in the collections listed in my resume. My books can be purchased from The Kelmscott Bookstore, Vamp and Tramp, 23 Sandy Gallery and Abecedarian and my art from 571 Projects.

I look forward to continuing to share this creative journey.
