Elemental Landscapes is an invitational exhibition of 13 printmakers. The project was developed through a Membership Engagement Grant from the California Society of Printmakers. This grant was a way of connecting and working with the CSP membership during the pandemic of 2020–22.
I began this project by looking through CSP members’ portfolios on the CSP website. The prints selected in many ways all tell related stories, and loosely share a perspective on our natural world.
The print-work presented here can be categorized as elemental; abstracted nature with a close up gaze. Landscapes with a focus on the specific; object oriented, textural, weathered, geometric, and molecular. This collection of artwork converses across varied pieces. Shapes, textures, forms and colors, depict forests and sea. Dwellings shake, diamonds spin, spirits rise, and elements are unearthed. Our environments shape life, and the forces of nature are consequential. Each print shows an instance in a story, viewed all together, an epic tale.
Participants Include: Begitte Lynge Andersen, Macy Chadwick, Zach Clark, Kevin Harris, Karen Kunc, Danguole Rita Kuolas, Geneviéve L’Heureux, Ellen Markoff, Carrie Ann Plank, Linda Simmel, and Sylvia Solochek Walters.

In conjunction with the annual CSP membership meeting at the Tannery Arts Center on May 14, 2022, Radius Gallery and the California Society of Printmakers are pleased to present a juried exhibition of new work from 29 CSP members. Presenting work in a broad variety of printmaking techniques, the exhibiting artists are Peter Baczek, Erica Barajas, Megan K Broughton, Jan Cook, Linda Craighead, Kate Deak, Shari DeBoer, Jane Gregorius, Deena Haynes, Yuji Hiratsuka, Susan Leone Howe, Barbara Kibbe, Sarah Klein, Pam Landrum, Kent Manske, Stephanie Martin, Margaret Niven, Arline Reimann, Felicia Rice, Robert Rocco, Dora Lisa Rosenbaum, Robynn Smith, Colleen Sullivan, Jami Tabak, Elizabeth Tana, Susana Terell, Susan Trubow, Summer Ventis, and Donna Westerman.
Juror and Radius Gallery owner Ann Hazels says “With 53 submissions it was very difficult to select pieces for only one exhibition. In sitting with this work for many hours, I realize there are several shows within the submissions and we need triple the gallery space. New Work features the prints of 29 artists. As a curator, I continue to be amazed by the profound ways printmakers use materials—both old and new. Each process is so involved and I appreciate these artists and their commitment.
Radius Gallery is located at the Tannery Arts Center in Studio #127
