This biennial is an international, juried exhibition.  All of the artworks in the show are no larger than four square inches.  (Yes!  Magnifying glasses are available to viewers.)

I hope the results of the 14th Biennial International Print Competition and Exhibition remind us all to stop and take time to look closer… says the juror, Dr. Ksenia Nourii, Gallery Director of the Art Students League of New York.  

I  am pleased  my piece, abiding, is in the show.  I’m honoured to show alongside many remarkable printmakers, including  Anne Desmet (UK) and Cleo Wilkinson (Australia.)

I’m happy to report three of my works are in The Ontario Miniature Print Exhibition 2022 (TOMPE 22).  Sponsored and organized by Print London, the exhibition is on view August 17 -27, 2022 at Satellite Project Space at Western University in London, Ontario.

The maximum print size for this miniature print show  is 8 x 8 inches.  Interestingly enough, the submission call  also accepted 3D artworks, limited to 8 x 8 x 8 inches.    I enjoyed the challenge of creating a print-based sculpture.  thin places emerged from this suggested format.
