Printmaking in the Anthropocene - Visual Research from the University of Alberta, poses the questions: how can an art exhibition contribute to the conversation about climate change?

IMPACT 10 - Santander Spain

I spent a week in early September in Santander Spain, where I attended IMPACT 10, an international printmaking conference. I met so many wonderful people from around the world!

The conference was all around a great success and thank you to everyone for your awesome response to my work.
