Screen prints by Afro-Brazilian artist Rubem Valentim, 1960s-80s, whose distinctive abstractions combined motifs from African, Brazilian, Polynesian, and Western cultures and religions, exploring themes of diaspora and mysticism.

Geometric abstract composition with a nearly symmetrical design: groupings of colorful shapes including half-circles, triangles, and arrows floating above a large blue half-circle, between two horizontal red lines on top and bottom with a yellow background.

I'm excited to reveal the artwork for this year's LIMESTONE CYCLING TOUR t-shirt. I was asked to make a design that included bicycles and downtown Maysville.

This woodcut design uses 3 colors - and white- to keep the t-shirt printing process simple -and in budget

If you'd like to to participate in this year's ride (and get one of their beautiful t-shirts) more information is available on their website:

This print shows a great little pollinator in the garden: a transverse-banded flower fly (Eristalis transversa) on Echinacea purpurea or purple coneflower. Because of its yellow stripes, tendency to hover (it’s a hover fly after all) and love of flowers, this little insect can be mistaken for a bee, but it’s a bee-mimic fly. Like the bees, it’s an important pollinator and friend to flowers and gardeners. 🧵1/2

As described this is my 8” x 10” print showing the centre of a purple echinacea flower. The centre of the flower is orange with black outlines and some yellow bits and occupies the lower right corner. Radiating out are several pink and violet petals. The background is green. On top of the centre of the flower is a transverse-banded flower fly facing the lower right corner. It is yellow and black striped with translucent wings and red-brown eyes.

The transverse-banded flower fly and purple coneflowers are native to eastern North America. Each print is made by hand on assorted, beautiful Japanese washi papers and collaged to make the final 8” x 10” image, which are hand-embellished with posca pens.

Happy birthday to trailblazing American computer scientist Frances Elizabeth Allen (1932 – 2020) who made foundational contributions to optimizing compilers, optimizing programs and parallel computing. She was the first woman to become an IBM Fellow, where she worked from 1957 to 2002 and as an emeritus fellow afterwards. She was the first woman to win the Turing Prize.
