Last November the amazing Angela Cartwright contacted me to see if I would be interested in having my work featured in the "Focus On" section of her and Sarah Fishburn's zine. Angela had seen a piece I had done for Connie Freedman as part of an art swap that Renee Troy had organized. (It is a World Wide Art Web, isn't it?) Of course I was extremely flattered, and above is the page of my work they designed.
Angela and Sarah publish this magazine ( or "zine") called Pasticcio Quartz (QUality ART Zine). It's a 8.5 x 8.5 high quality glossy book they self publish 3 times a year. Issue 9 focused on Adornments. For the link to Pasticcio Quartz click HERE.

This is a close up of a Mother's Day mandala I did. I used a Hiro 700 nib and gouache.
For all you moms out there, Happy Mother's Day! I hope Sunday is a celebration of you. For many, Mother's Day can be a bittersweet day, and I think of you and know better days lie ahead.
The text around the mandala reads:
Mother's write on the hearts of their children what the world's rough hand cannot erase.
Go forth and flourish!
Have admired your work for a while now and am just getting around to commenting. Love how you use color in the offhand flourishing! Congratulations on the nice 'zine spread.

Congratulations, Jane! What a nice addition your work makes to the zine! Guess who forgot to have the mother's day mandela framed. Too busy to think! Mom got flowers, so now I'll have it framed and she'll get your gorgeous mandela as a bonus gift. Won't she be surprised!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your publicity! Your work is so beautiful!
Wonderful work Jane!!!! Congratulations on the article!
ReplyDeleteHEE HEE--you're so funny, Jane!!! They were really fun to do. Did you watch the video with Eliza? Have you heard of her? She is a fabulous calligrapher and has a book called Brush Lettering that is very good. She teaches at conference.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool, Jane! I can't even imagine what a third-party endorsement like that must feel like. I get all goosebumpy when someone just comments on my blog. :o) Congratulations! They clearly know talent when they see it. You're work is flawless.
