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!
