Once again Anne’s work was deemed worthy to be included at the\u00a0prestigious Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach. This is her fourth year\u00a0and, as always, she’s put a lot into it and is spending many hours on the grounds. Besides representing her booth, she’s also a docent this year, as well as one of the demonstrators in the craft of printmaking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Beauty begets beauty.
\n(Sorry, couldn’t resist that\u00a0caption.)<\/h6>\n

Here’s Anne on opening night, at a rare moment when the crowds had cleared. Though the Laguna Festival features art of all media, there’s a higher percentage than most shows given to printmaking. It seems this is a\u00a0fertile\u00a0area for it, with lots of good teaching (including Anne’s own classes). Still, every person’s work is completely unique.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Set on Pilgrimage<\/em>, monotype on paper, 10×10<\/h6>\n

If there’s a message in these pieces, it’ll be of the viewer’s making. The calligraphy, when it’s included, is for the beauty of the handwriting alone. More and more a passing art, here’s one way to preserve it for it’s own sake.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exploring Grace<\/em>, monotype on paper, 17×18<\/h6>\n

The\u00a0juxtaposition\u00a0of block shapes with sinuous curves, strong colors and subtle, foreground dominance and background “history,” and the inclusion of printing from found objects and suggested\u00a0typography, all go into the collective elegance of Anne’s work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Agreeing to Differ<\/em>, monotype on paper, 16×19<\/h6>\n

You might say art is all the stuff found in nature but arranged in a certain way by a person. At least that’s what I see when I look at all these pieces. Nature, by itself, is merely beauty. Art is something added, and very often also beautiful. (Like in all these examples here.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Internal Dialogue<\/em>, monotype on paper, 17.5×12.5<\/h6>\n

The making of art is half intention and half discovery, and knowing when to apply which. It’s an never-ending process and an ever-expanding horizon of what can be done.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Reaching for the Highest<\/em>, monotype on paper, 20×10
\nCollection\u00a0of Mercedes and John Stifter, San Clemente, California<\/h6>\n

The result of all these elements in the hands of a sensitive spirit can afford hours and years of enjoyment in the perception. That’s what the Stifters thought when they purchased this piece on opening night at the festival. Other works are still available, for viewing, for having, and for enjoying for a long time to come.
\nDo visit the festival if you can. Or, shop Anne’s website<\/a> for the wide array of her pieces.<\/p>\n
