Riverhouse Editions is pleased to announce four new projects completed in 2006

Just after the winter holidays, Susan Hambleton returned to Riverhouse for her ninth project with us, again featuring oil monotypes on creamy Stonehenge paper, and further exploration of water media on unsized white Rives BFK paper. She continued ongoing series of floral monotypes titled Sometimes and Purple Lake, and began some smaller scale new series titled Garden, Natural Ties, and Markings.

For our next project, in early February amidst four feet of fresh powder snow, Katherine Bowling came to create three new full color etchings the same size as her earlier Moon and Fog from 2005. All five beautiful landscapes were exhibited a mere two weeks later in Aspen with five paintings of the same themes at David Floria Gallery. As inspiration, Katherine utilized slightly blurry snapshots she had taken near her home in upstate New York and on the east coast.

After a few months of editioning and exhibiting at the new Art Chicago at the Mart, Tim Litzmann and Richard Bosman both completed their second projects at the workshop in Clark.

Tim once again pushed the boundaries of printmaking by printing flat relief rolled color blocks onto frosted Mylar, and then rolling the sheets back on themselves to create the appearance of a three dimensional print that really "hangs" off the wall. There were three initial color combinations set for editions and throughout the fall we will test other sets of color for additional small editions.

Richard worked directly from studies he had made in upstate New York based on photographs of the theme of winter survival. Master printer Susan Hover Oehme visited his studio and saw many dramatic large scale paintings and other drawings. After the two week project in August, we had five full color editions, three from copper plates etched with spitbite aquatint and drypoint, and two larger carborundum aquatints. Some of the prints use the white of the Rives BFK printing paper as the element of snow.

We will be exhibiting these and other master prints at the International Fine Print Fair at the Armory in New York City from November 2 — November 5, 2006
