Recently I have become drawn to the landscapes of my illustrations and have translated them into designs for the home. This website is fantastic for artists to explore design and transfer your work to a different medium. Enjoy!

The Brandywine Workshop, in cooperation with Projects Gallery, is pleased to present “Print Out,” a two-part, two-month exhibition of prints by culturally diverse artists. For the month of December the main gallery will display original prints by established artists such as Samella Lewis, Tomie Arai, Juan Sanchez, Yung Soon Min, Jules Olitski, Kenneth Noland, and Paul F. Keene, Jr. In January focus will be on recent prints by African American artists such as Hank Willis Thomas, Deborah Willis, John E. Dowell, Jr., Allan L. Edmunds, Larry Walker, Maya Freelon Asante, and William T. Williams. For both months there will also be a special interactive installation of quality, affordable original prints from Brandywine Workshop artists featured in the rear gallery. Prints by national and international artists will be available at deep discounts to raise funds to benefit Brandywine’s capital campaign and gallery operations.
As part of the exhibition’s mission to promote printmaking and its potential as an expressive medium, “Print Out” will present a series of free children’s workshops and family days. Families are encouraged to introduce their children to the media of print though the exhibition and hands-on learning activities. Volunteer printmaking majors from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts will lead children (3-12 years of age) in relief printmaking. In addition to creating art to take home, examples of the children’s prints will be displayed at the gallery during “Print Out.” The experience of creating and exhibiting original prints in an established art gallery will be one to be enjoyed by the entire family. Each free session is limited to 6 children, and pre-registration by phone (215.546.32675) is required.
The following schedule of activities is planned:
Family Day, Saturday, December 5, 2009 from 12 noon to 4:00 PM
First Session 12 Noon
Second Session 1:30 PM
Third Session 3:00 PM
Family Day, Saturday, January 16, 2010 from 12 noon to 4:00 PM

Photography by the late Karl P. Slingluff portrays another side of war. An avid photographer, Karl was drafted to the Korean War. This retrospective of photos shows us a glimpse of history that isn’t usually seen. Karl Slingluff shot thousands of slides while in Korea, which preserved his photos making this show possible. Jonathan and Leigh Slingluff, owners of The Slingluff Gallery, have selected photos that show the talent of Karl. In Karl’s memory, The Slingluff Gallery is donating a percentage of all sales to Williamson Free School for Mechanical Trades in Media, PA, where he attended.
The opening reception for this show is on December 5, 2009 from 6-9pm and runs until December 27th.
About The Slingluff Gallery: Studio 27.28 opened its doors in 2008 in the Art Museum Area. With the move to Fishtown Studio 27.28 has quickly morphed into The Slingluff Gallery. Featuring local, national, and international artists every first Saturday, they are dedicated to giving artists of all mediums an opportunity to show on the other side of the country or ocean or for their first time. The Slingluff Gallery also features handmade items in their gallery, from jewelry to pottery and scarves. www.SlingluffGallery.com
