The Wax Book Catalogue/Book is coming out soon......going to the publisher end of the week...here is a sneak peak

Above is the cover of "The Wax Book:  Altered, Repurposed, Remade" - this is a very professionally designed book of an exhibit I curated for the 6th Annual International Encaustic Conference...The exhibit opens at the Truro Center for the Arts, Gallery 10, at Castle Hill in Truro, MA. USA.

Many thanks go to Sarah E. Rehmer for the layout design, Nancy Natale for the editing and Milisa Galazzi for birthing the idea of turning the exhibit into a catalogue and handling sales and marketing...this small group that came together quite organically, would not have happened if it weren't for our passion for the book arts and the vision and belief that all that can be imagined is possible..

Curator: Supria Karmakar ; Editor: Nancy Natale

Out of this exhibit, came a fabulous catalogue,documenting the work...so that it may have a longer lasting possibility of being viewed, enjoyed and a source of inspiration.  Milisa Galazzi, Nancy Natale, Sarah E. Rehmer and I have worked diligently to produce this catalogue for you.  A huge amount of gratitude goes to Sarah E. Rehmer for her beautiful professional design and layout of the catalogue, Nancy Natale for her editing, fine eye to detail, and to Milisa Galazzi for coming up with the idea of producing a catalogue of the show and managing the sales and marketing; without this collaborative and team effort this would never have been possible.  I have truly enjoyed working with you all, thank you!

Most of all I would like to thank Joanne Mattera, Director/Founder of the Annual Encaustic International Conference and Cherie Mittenthal, Executive Director of the Truro Centre for the Arts at Castle Hill, for their acceptance of my proposal to curate a book exhibit and encouragement to do so....and of course to the 13 artists for submitting their extraordinary work for this show.

It has been a magnificent journey, and the buzz is getting louder...the conference is just almost a month away.... 

I am also excited about teaching at the conference, a Post-Conference 2-day workshop June 6 & 7th, and doing a demonstration on Sunday June 3rd on the same Altered Books with Encaustic

It is a wonderful conference, and I highly recommend attending and registering today if you haven't already.....
