Is it fair to say that a talented printmaker’s most visible work takes up one side of an old grocery store? Yes, if that print-maker is Linda Taylor who spent many months restoring the mural on the side of Jonathan’s at Peirano’s. Her artistry in printmaking was recognized by the Museum of Ventura County when she was named first Artist in Residence. Printmaking is at the center of Linda’s artistic life and has been since her student days at San Diego State University where she took a print-making class. “It was love at first sight!” She employs all types of print techniques, either alone or in combination, creating works in a semi-abstract figurative mode with an emphasis on color, texture and line. She is known for bringing world class printers to workshops held in her studio. Linda is deeply involved in her community, having been a teacher and serving at present on the Ojai School Board, work that cuts into her gardening efforts. She is a member of Rotary and has been active in Rotary’s fight to eradicate polio. Join us to visit with Linda Taylor: artist, educator, community supporter.

Press for Sale
Hello Printmakers,
It is a rare occasion to have available a small table top press for sale. Nina Warner has a Conrad E-12 press for sale. The press bed is 12x20" (which could easily be converted into 12x24" or even 30") a fantastic proofing press and also great for book artists!
For images and specs you can go to the Conrad site:
www.conradmachine.com
It's approximately 80-90 pounds and takes two people to move it. There is no base for it but looks like there is a base that can be purchased from Conrad.
The asking price is $1200. A great price and no shipping costs.
Contact Nina if you're interested. Nina Warner<warner@sbcc.edu>

Here are shots of our four hour exhibition on Saturday June 13th of prints made at the Schott Center during the short Spring Term.
Enjoy. (That’s Elaine LeVasseur’s daughter Gretchen putting out the cookies.) Thanks to all who came! From July 10-Aug 14th, send your artist friends by room 23 (any Friday night about 8 or Saturday about 3 to see what we are doing this summer) if they are curious about making prints at some point.

Show Opportunity
Evolution & Change is a competition for Printmakers
Cash awards
No fee
How do we, as artists, deal with the whole idea of evolution and change? Is it something of importance to us? Do we have control over it? Is it positive or negative? Do we even accept the idea? These are just some of the themes we wish to examine in this show. Printmaking is the finest specimen of evolution in the world of art. What has driven the development of printmaking over the centuries has been living in an environment of change, a constant pressure from the market to go faster, be more efficient, to have better accuracy, to be more complex.
