Crow’s Shadow Retreats

In 2020 artist Fox Spears, spent a week at SFAP making prints for a special project. Over the course of the week, Fox created a beautiful suite of monotypes commissioned by Starbucks for display in their stores. Fox later invited me to join him and some fellow artists at a Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts workshop in Pendleton, Oregon. I was lucky to attend three of these workshops, the first in 2021 followed by two in 2022. Each session lasted four days with the attendant artists creating their own new monotypes. Completing each print is an ongoing process affording me the chance to revisit my memories of a powerful place and experience. A sampling of prints below, are finished with collage, paint, pen & ink, pencil and stitching. Images: 18” x 24” on Rives BFK paper.
