My Art Residency Travel/ Materials

2017 promises to be a very creative year for me and an opportunity to work and exhibit outside of my rural Vermont surroundings.  I have been awarded two residencies, one a fully funded 6  week residency at Scuola Grafica in Venice, Italy (Feb-March), the second a partially funded two month residency from the Marpha Foundation in Marpha, Nepal. (August-September)
     Scuola Grafica is an international print studio.  The Marpha Foundation supports intercultural arts activities between the resident artist and the community of Marpha.  I will be exhibiting and teaching in each of these venues.
     In Venice I plan to make a series of etchings from objects in the Correr and Maritime museums as well as continuing to design plates for my ongoing project of referencing Homer's Iliad.  I will also have the opportunity to learn technically from other printmakers.
     In Nepal I will concentrate on drawing the muscular forms of mountains, rivers, stones, as well as making drawings based on Nepali mythology.  I may make some linoleum cuts.  My studio will be on the top floor of a school attended by local children.  I will teach drawing as well as help with English learning.
     This is where you come in.  I must raise money for travel and related expenses.  In return for your support I am offering etchings or lithographs within three categories of cantributions, all from the work done in Venice or Nepal.
     For $25,   a 4" x 4" or so etching
     For $75,   a print approx 10" x 12"
     For $125, a print approx 12" x 14"

Thanks,
Lynn
