The event, Masters of Intaglio with a Touch of Jazz<\/em>, brought together an international assemblage of master print makers, a gallery director, and jazz singer for a residency filled with presentations and discussions, workshops, and a multi-media performance.<\/p>\n

Michael, of Sydney, Australia, and Jenny, of Los Angeles, CA, are master printmakers with extensive experience with intaglio printmaking techniques. In addition to extensive time on their own work, branching out into laser-etched woodblock relief printing, both artists held public workshops to share their knowledge of intaglio printmaking and different methodologies they employ, and Michael held a public lecture to speak about his organization, Cicada Press, its founding, and its efforts to reach out to the Aboriginal communities and open up the facilities Cicada Press has to them, while also allowing for collaboration with the students at the University of New South Wales. Both Michael and Jenny currently have their work from their residencies on display, Michael’s show entitled Work and Play at Chung ya Feng Art Center in Beijing (website is in Chinese), and Jenny’s show entitled Constructs at the Davidson Galleries in Seattle, Washington.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
