Who's Pulling My Chain?, monotype, collage, intaglio and drawing, Ron Pokrasso 
Firenzied Motif, Monotype and Collage, Ron Pokrasso 
Joanne McCarthy, Gallery Director of the New Ashgate Gallery in Farnham (www.newashgate.org.uk) selected four of my prints for an exhibition of work by Ochre Print Studio members. The work was displayed in the Balcony room from 10th June to 9th July. Despite four pieces being selected, only two made it on to the walls, but I was very pleased with that and was hung between Richenda Court and Tessa Pearson, which was an honor.

The private view was a stylish affair with lots of guests and the exhibition was officially opened by the American artist Ron Pokrasso who was about to embark on a an intensive week of teaching at Ochre.
Ron had been recommended to Julie and Annee at Ochre by Barbara Rae following her talk at the studio last summer. Ron currently owns Timberwick Studios, a multi-functional studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is an exhibiting artist mainly working with monotype, collage and assemblage. His week-long course was inspirational for the printmakers that took part and although I wasn't one of them, I did manage to pick up a few practical gems of knowledge and practice on the two occasions I went in to the studio during that week.
