Once Again Anne’s work is featured at the famous Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach. This summer’s show has been going since the fourth of July and will continue till the end of August. Happily she has been enjoying sales, as well as the time she spends on the grounds, most late afternoons and evenings.
Printmaking is a unique art. When people take it in long enough to really see it, they’re generally completely engrossed at what goes into it, not the mention the result in design and texture and pattern and color. (As with all, double-click photo to enlarge.)
Here Anne explains printmaking to an interested passer-by. Hundreds of guests mill about and check out the great variety of art being shown by many artists. That’s after, or during, the live music concert going on at the same time, or before they take in the Pageant of the Masters that happens on the same grounds every evening.
This year’s new thought was to bring Anne’s smaller press (the one we travel with) to present as part of the display. It adds interest and can facilitate in understanding process. Note also her book displayed here, available in the festival book store (and on this website).
She changes the array of framed pieces from time to time. They are the main attention-getters (not the mention the artist, herself) though so far this year most of the sales have been from the bin.
The whole event is fun and inspiring. Some bring food and wine, find a table, enjoy the music, then take in all the art. It’s open from 10:00 in the morning, throughout the day and into the evening. It would be great to see you if you come. Find her at #104.

I think it’s such a great idea to bring her press. That’s the first thing I noticed, even before reading Hyatt’s comments about that. Transforms you into a “teaching artist,” Anne, doubling the appeal of your art. Good on you, sis. Wish Karen and I could be there.

How insightful……to let all the beautiful prints you make be seen ……and then to show how it’s done!! Honestly, I am so uneducated in the arts, I am always fascinated to see how you work, Anne……you yourself are a work of God’s art…..and to share yourself means even more. Thank you for your gift to us all.
