FEATURING is here- and What a GIFT!!

The amazing and talented Marit Barentsen has created a gorgeous new International Art Magazine titled FEATURING  that is a polished, smart, page turning compilation of stories and articles about all facets of the art world.  The inaugural issue has just come off the presses and I am thrilled, honored and blessed that an altered book art and poetry collaboration that I completed with Seth Apter from The Altered Page, titled The Gift, has been included.  The article discusses our project, displays select pictures of our artwork and poems and includes an in depth interview  from each of us on our project.  Our altered book collaboration was based on each of us having a book for which the other created poems. These poems were then the jumping point for the others original artwork for each of our books. You must read the article to see the details!

This first edition of the magazine includes all of the things Marit ever  dreamed of- as she says, " articles to READ, background stories, interviews... she dreamed of a  versatile magazine that included art journaling, mixed media, photography, poetry and everything else that would fit - creativity in all its forms." 
And so it is one beautiful
  8 1/4" x 11 3/4"  magazine of glossed beauty!

Congratulations with being in the first issue of this new magazine! Super to see the collaboration with Seth “The Gift” – and hope to see more! And then the extra gift to us: Designs in Nature with your poem. It is poetic and makes us feel her space, power and freedom. And you said it: Nature is a gracious host! Wherever we are or whatever we do - your poem speaks to us all.
