<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I am a kinetic learner. I was sent to dance classes for most of my childhood. My next-door neighbor who had two daughters was a graduate in Dance from Ohio State University. My father had never heard of such a major. When I was a junior in high school, my father had found my neighbor inside her car in her locked garage, dead, an unfortunate suicide leaving her girls and me lost and confused. She was my first mentor. I studied dance from her. I was determined to go to Ohio State University to study dance as she had. My father still did not understand the point, but let me go in spite of the odds of never landing a job upon graduation.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">As it turns out, I did not complete the dance program. I had my first back incident when I fell on stage and ruptured a disc. I needed surgery and when I returned to school, I found myself in the Art Department knowing I could never study anything, but the arts. I did not think of myself as a drawer or painter, I was a choreographer. I used line, form, time, and shape to develop a unified composition as tools to create dances. It was then that I discovered how similar the principles and elements were in creating a painting or a dance, except a dance is gone in a moment, a flash of a camera’s shutter remains with videos only seen by relatives. A painting can last a very long time, and may be appreciated by a much larger audience. I ended up staying in the Fine Arts Department creating a major that OSU did not yet have, an Arts Administration Degree. My father, of course, understood that.</span></span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I did return to dance. I went to Temple University and received a Master’s in Choreography. Once again, my father did not get what I would accomplish with that degree. But, I stayed on a steady course of performing and creating in the Philadelphia area for fifteen years. It all came together when I became the Director of The CEC (Community Education Center), and there I had access to the rehearsal studios. I was directing a non-profit arts center by day and dancing by night.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">After being among artists, filmmakers, art teachers, and creators of all types at the CEC, I found myself wondering more and more if I had any ability to draw and paint. Once married and with children, and dance was no longer a part of my life, I started taking classes in all medium. I couldn’t get enough information fast enough. I found my kinetic style of learning needed to be toned down as teachers professed, “in order to really see.” Eventually, I drew confidently, and accurate “enough” with a diligence that caught my next to be mentor’s eye. A teacher, who finally said, “Paint what you know, and tell the truth in your painting.” My inspiration had always been about movement and the subject of my expression had become very clear: motion to evoke emotion.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I took the dancer within me and challenged myself to draw into the paint. I use fabrics to collage into a painting to provide a sense of place for my figures. I cut the canvas into long narrow pieces and paint figures moving in a tightly restricted space. I play with the random or incorrect lines left on a page, as Matisse might have done, in case I have a need for them, later. Most importantly, the urgency satisfies me. I want to express the frustration of no longer being a dancer, yet, not regretful, but resourceful. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I returned to school to receive a Master’s in Art Education. Of course, my dad loved that. But, I did not enjoy being in the typical classroom at all. I wanted to teach, but not with standards that were apparently no longer applicable or interesting to the students. But, I knew I had to teach. Teaching empowers people and I truly believe teaching inspires my work. I teach students who have never held a pencil to draw before, very much as I had started out.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I study figurative artists, such as the artists of the San Francisco Bay Movement, and teach Expressive Figurative Work-shops. I appreciate the action painting of both the De Koonings, and Pollacks. To me, they are dancing in paint. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I paint what I knew best. Isn’t that what an artist strives to do? I want it to be meaningful, not just pretty pictures, but the confusing emotions that reflect the discord in one’s life, such as, my sister dying of cancer, my mother alive surviving that loss. My occupation of wife and mother, the joy and pride that comes with the choices I made. My figures, as well as my landscapes, capture the very first essence of a pose or a place that I visit. I begin as I would a choreographer, with a line. The line makes a shape closely related, but not necessarily equal to what I see, the shape turns into form when I add color, more lines, more shapes- a continuous dance. My tools alternate in my limber fingers, as if I was caught in a dance with the brush, pencil, and pastel. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">I think some of my best works, for example the two pieces that have been chosen for the juried show, happened in less than two hours. I did not belabor it. I saw it, captured the expressiveness of the poses without consciousness of what I was making. I got on stage, felt prepared, did the dance, and got off. It is a very nice and humbling feeling to know that I have received applause by being chosen to participate in this show. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As a child, I
grew up admiring images of Goya, Van Gogh, Cezanne and Chinese
calligraphy. The then new abstractions of Franz Klein, DeKooning, and
Jackson Pollock resonated with me as a teenager.</span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Since
the beginning of my creative career in the Early 70’s, I have been
following one basic thread of an idea: the search for moving line. <br /><br />Forty
years ago, I began this search as a self taught potter: first finding
that line in three dimensions with the raising of a spinning mass on the
potters wheel. Later as I worked with porcelain on two dimensional
murals with color and brush , the avenues for line exploration
multiplied (<i>Tao</i>).<br /> </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I transitioned to painting ,earning
a Certificate from <a href="http://www.pafa.org/">The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts</a> in 1994.
There, under the mentorship of Seymour Remenick, I learned to work
intuitively, trusting in the gesture, the color and the line to discover
the unknown. I also received a firm grounding in the singular
importance of drawing. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After graduation I was given the
opportunity to study calligraphy and ink painting at the China National
Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou. The total immersion in Chinese culture
exploded any preconceptions I had about what the future of my work
would be. But my desire to follow that expressive line, wherever it
led, became a passion (<i>The Pink Dress</i>).</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">My piece in Woodmere's <i>71st Annual Juried Exhibition</i> is from a series of works called <i>Endurance Drawings. </i>Rather than being images of a subject, these drawings are documentation of the effort that went into their existence. For these works, I prick the paper with a pushpin for varying durations of time. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The holes are placed as closely as can be accomplished without destroying the fiber of the paper. Through concentrated effort, these objects illustrate a level of closeness that is just at the edge of mutual destruction. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">For me, <i>Endurance Drawings </i>are meditations on the idea of intimacy, a common theme in many of my projects. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The piece on view at Woodmere can be seen as a drawing, or as documentation of a performance. Similarly, my recent projects <i>Device for Social Climbing</i> and <i>Intimacy Training Device I</i> have dual functionality as sculptures and objects for physical interaction.<br /> </span></span><br />

myself and <i>People Magazine’s </i>Sexiest Men Alive, 1985-present. By
standing on these platforms, I can equalize our differences, and place
my body in a space that theoretically allows for intimacy. In this way,
an object that functions as a sculptural installation is a literal
expression of data, and a figurative expression of longing.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i> <i>Intimacy Training Device I</i> </i>is designed to mimic the presence of another person in bed. This
is the first in a series stemming from the idea that the secret to
successful intimacy lies in part in the ability to accommodate another
person-metaphorically and physically. My hypothesis is that by creating objects that stand as placeholders for another person, one can train to be a better partner. Similar to the <i>Device for Social Climbing,</i> this object can stand alone as sculptural work or function as a tool.</span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">My process begins long before any paint hits the canvas. I begin by exploring an inspirational location and visit many times before starting. I am drawn to non-designed, left-over places. When I was young, I spent a greater amount of time playing in and exploring the vacant lots rather than the professionally designed playgrounds. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">As an artist, I am still drawn to those abandoned, derelict spaces where the imagination is free to roam. It's the lack of obvious beauty and not knowing where these spaces will lead me artistically that draws me to them. After visiting several times I paint on site and explore the site through the lens of a camera. I also research the history of the site and look for any old photographs. I do all of this "getting to know the site" in order to allow a more personal artistic vision to develop rather than just capturing it's essence. After getting to know the site, I than move the ideas into the studio to further remove myself from it's innate meaning. I like the idea of the painting being "site-specific", but I want it to evolve into something more personal with a new "sense of place." </span></span><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the studio, my process starts with a drafted line drawing in which a new place is constructed. Much the same way that an architect would create. However, many times the drawing is a combination of several different places and possibilities overlaying and overlapping each other that will be further explored, changed or decided during the painting process. The drawing creates the underlying structure. This underlying drawing eventually gives way to the paint. I am more of a searcher with paint. Often the paint is doing one thing and the drawing doing another with a precarious connection between the two. I enjoy this tension. I paint as much for paint sake instead of for just the image. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">There is a fine line between the love of paint, the material itself, the mark making versus the definition of the image. My painting process involves scraping, staining, dragging, and a re-invention of the space. A new space evolves from the process. My paintings are as much about the architecture of the paint as it is about an architectural scene. I want the entire process to show through in the final painting. The residue of the previous drawing/painting comes through in final version.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This painting (above) has a “sense of place” inspired by an actual location which then evolves through ideas that come from multiple sources, real and imagined as well as through the process of painting. This process is a dynamic interaction with the surface, the space, the layering and taking away of paint. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tension exists between the use of traditional one point perspective, the flat abstract two-dimensional canvas world and the surface world of paint. Like many artists, I use light to turn the ordinary and everyday into something more, something greater. I evoke emotion using spatial dimension, atmosphere and defining architecture. There are many paintings within the painting. Typically there is not just one straight forward view, but many spatial directions and abstractions of space to move through. I am interested more in a journey through the space and paint than a particular fixed image. I create a space that the viewer is free to roam around in. There are no figures in the paintings because I want the figures in the paintings to be the viewer. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I attended the Philadelphia Museum School, now the
<a href="http://www.uarts.edu/">University of the Arts,</a> in the early 1950s graduating in 1956. We had very good teachers, and I still
remember the benefit from some of their suggestions and advice. Watercolor seemed an easy fit for me
although there were many efforts that fell far short. However, that’s what school is for; my learning continues on
even now.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">To back up a bit, I should give credit to my Lower Merion
High school art teacher, William Bahmermann, who encouraged me early on.
Without his encouragement, It would not have occurred to me to try for art
school. Again, the teacher. How important they can be.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1809359934885291910" name="_GoBack"></a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Philadelphia was, and still is, a very walkable city. Things seemed on a much smaller scale
back then. There were numerous
side streets rife with subject matter for our class outings. Manayunk, too, was another viable spot.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I trained originally in South Africa as a graphic designer, and a lot of the restrictions of the adverising industry - extremely small scale, random cropping and folding, translation of color images into monochrome - I've tended to retain in my work. Much of my painting is done on metal panels, which I like not only for their contemporary feeling, but also for the historical association: the Romans made exquisite miniature portraits painted on gold and covered with glass, and Dutch artists prized copper as a smooth surface impervious to damp or warping.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">After working in advertising for many years, first in Cape Town then New York, I moved to Philadelphia to study painting at the <a href="http://pafa.org/">Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.</a> I'm now represented here by <a href="http://www.artistshouse.com/">Artists' House Gallery</a> in Old City.</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Most of the panels I use for painting are zinc and copper etching plates, although I've also used steel. I sometimes treat the plates with acid for a textured, corroded surface but usually I sand for a slight key for retention, and then use either a transparent lacquer or an opaque aerosol metal primer depending on whether I want the metal exposed. The plates are cut to size on a jump shear and reassembled for the image to be transferred. My portraits are always based on my own photographs which I've either then redrawn or manipulated in Photoshop. </span></span></span>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I use a fairly thin mixture of oil paint, linseed oil and oil of spike lavender initially, gradually phasing out the mediums in favor of pure paint. Sometimes a certain amount of oiling-out is necessary to restore the depth of darker colors. I like to bring the image to varying levels of development when painting; in some areas I'll take the rough oil sketch no further, while other passages I'll refine to a higher degree of finish. Often, I'll sand the painting down to the bare metal to imply that the piece has been handled, be it roughly or tenderly. </span></span></span><br />

The delicious looseness of the acrylic paint as the it mixes with water. I know the formulas. They are old friends to me. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wonderfully, each time there is a freshness for me in how the brush carries the paint. Decisions about Mars black or Panye's grey give me deep satisfaction in the choosing. The mediums when added to the paint all have a signature like a finger print, it becomes an intensely personal adventure.<br /><br />As I begin to explore a new idea I don't categorize a work as a drawing or painting. The final pieces are all drawings/paintings to me. My intention to create a painting on any particular day in the studio becomes subservient as the form emerges. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The drawing comes in as needed, at the right time. Sometimes the emotion of subject as the form emerges dictates where I move next. This more than anything helps to move the process.</span></span></span><br />

As the layers built up I would find the figure within the materials. The forms came to me through the materials. It's a slow process and gives me time to look and think before I make a decision. Lines become the right ones to define a shape and tell the story.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The basis of my work is about identity, perception, race, and gender contrast. This narrative began for me as I evolved into adulthood and began to place myself within the spectrum of the world. Asking the question: Just how do I fit into this complex society?</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I try to implement language and varying
degrees of structure and deconstruction into my work and use the
figure as a way of communicating information. I like to
think of my work as a painted collage--a mirage of mixed emotions
wrapped into some representation of the figurative world.</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I don't always have the opportunity to work with a model so I use myself, photographs, and collected images that resonate with my thought process. The process is like making music or writing poetry. Sometimes I think several combinations of pigment and tools will work only to find an altered solution later. A lot occurs between the technical and my mind's eye.</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I start with an idea that speaks to me. Sometimes I will
draw out the concept on paper but I prefer going directly to canvas or
board with brush and paint, allowing this action to be my working
sketch. I am looking for spontaneity between the paint and other
elements and like to incorporated different materials such as drawing
tools, spray paint, oil, acrylic, enamels, and more. I also use
tracings and incorporate images from previous renderings. The
experimental occurs often. Everything comes together and the
painting becomes a dreamscape to me.</span></span></span>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been interested in the growing numbers of
young street artists, even though I do not consider myself one. I admire
their courage and their enthusiasm to put the work out there for others
to experience. It reminds me of when I lived in New York and artists
like <a href="http://basquiat.com/">Jean Michel Basquiat</a> were
bringing a new energy to the art scene. Street art contains a whimsical
language which makes me smile. The characters they use are both
perplexing and alluring. They break rules. The art itself is a fascinating narrative about the world of street culture, politics, and philosophy. </span></span></span> <br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I am also influenced by the multicultural landscape of Philadelphia. I was born here and know this city well. I've also lived in New York and California. Philadelphia is the fifth largest city in the country but to me still feels like a big small town. The city has some very positive elements about it. When you make friends in Philadelphia, you just might have them for life. I've followed many artists throughout the years and they have all contributed to my education enormously, and for that I am deeply grateful.</span></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was
born and raised in the Germantown/Mt. Airy part of the city and attended
the <a href="http://www.uarts.edu/">University of the Arts</a> (BFA Painting). I also took classes in New York
City at the <a href="http://www.sva.edu/">School of the Visual Arts. </a>My first art lessons came by way
of my late father at the age of four years old.
Around third grade my teacher realized I had a special connection to painting
and drawing and she allowed me to create monthly bulletin boards
at the Kinsey School. </span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;">I recently returned from a
month-long-road-trip across the country. This marks my second trip in ten
months, totaling in over 17,000 miles of traveled terrain. In addition
to the healthy break I needed from my Philadelphia routine, these two
journeys served as business trips in which I painted five independent
murals and four group murals in New Orleans, Santa Fe, Minneapolis and
Wolfeboro, NH. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />The
two trips have inevitably informed much of my work. Many of the spaces
and forms that take shape within my paintings and drawings, I have seen
somewhere else, out there on the grid, on the field, --somewhere out
there.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><br />In
terms of future projects, the collection of photographs I have taken
cover a vast span of the culture and geology of this land. These
photographs will feed my upcoming project, a series chronicling my
experiences called “WANDERLUST.” I am very excited about the series and
project it will be comprised of about 50-60 paintings. I want the series
to be descriptive and narrative, more representational than abstract
but certainly flirting with both elements. I imagine that many of the
paintings will be in the vain of my last solo show, “PHILADELPHIA,” a
series of oil paintings depicting the City of Brotherly love in its
simultaneous decay and rebirth. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Our main purpose is to
foster a contemporary conversation outside of the traditional gallery.
We have done this so far by hosting events such as weekly film screenings
and monthly exhibitions curated by FJORD artists and guest curators.
FJORD has had three gallery openings, Considering the Provisional,
Spectator Sport, and DAPHNE; and we are very pleased to present Red
Herring Friday, August 3rd. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">My art is largely an intuitive process incorporating different textures, colors, shapes and forms. It typically occurs organically with minimal planning and a lot of reactive decisions. They are often made quickly, sometimes only discovered after setting it aside for a period of time, then bringing it out again to look at with a fresh eye.<br /> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When I bring the painting out again, I can either continue with what I have going, or allow it to morph into new shapes and objects, turning it sideways or upside-down. I’ll often realize it’s not working at all and then paint over a good portion of it. I will still allow small sections of the previous layer to show through, giving me new potential forms to play with.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> Something that draws me to this way of working is that new textures are
continually coming out. An uneven, textured surface becomes more
tangible to me, I can relate to it more. It gives me a stronger tactile
connection to what I am doing. <br /><br />Use of semi-unconventional
painting tools lends well to the creations. Along with the usual brush
and knives, I use brayers, plastic spreaders, paper towels, the
occasional broom. <br /><br />Usually this is the most fun for me. The
physicality of spreading large globs of paint across a board, letting
two wet colors push against each other to create tiny mountain-like
ranges and canyons, and sometimes violently intermixing and reacting as
they are laid down and moved around.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">In the past three years, I have returned to painting the still-life. <br /><br />For me, the subject matter serves as a point of departure, allowing me to find my own forms through exploring the subject. The immediate accessibility of the still-life facilitates my focus on the objects themselves, their shadows, shapes, and the space they occupy. <br /><br />In my process, I focus on the same object(s) over an extended period of time. In working on one subject over this stretch of time, the physical arrangement of the subject is not based upon a scheme for a potential source of new visual information, but to confront the subject matter as a whole. Thus, the placement of the objects rarely changes, and this provides an environment to discover something new within the same objects and the space around them. Each attempt to paint my subject matter becomes new and different. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"> The paintings are not initiated with a specific simplicity or psychological meaning even though these qualities are residual outcomes.

<span style="font-size: small;">My working process involves a significant amount of adding and subtracting of painterly forms, resulting in an agglomeration of forms overlaying preceding forms and increasingly concealing the real appearances of the subject matter. In the process, my color palette results in the use of muted colors and tonal grays, arriving from the use of the prismatic hues as these afford more vibrant and colorful grays and allow for subtle changes in color and temperature in the paintings.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I consider my work to be primarily conceptual, with symbolic and process elements. Since I rarely have a complete vision of the finished work before beginning, I find it important to work in a medium such as oils, gouache, or collage. This allows me to layer and change the work as it progresses and inspires me. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I work both with and without initial studies and combine painting from life with printed and found reference materials (old photographs, patterns, books, etc.). </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The original imagery is developed over several weeks, and I generally work on more than one painting at a time in order to allow for drying and the next intuitive step to reveal itself. Occasionally, I will work from a completely abstract ground, and respond to the work until the final imagery becomes clear. Other times, I will begin with a primary reference or set-up and make additions and alterations, adding and removing features as the painting progresses. I also remove paint from the surface by sanding, scraping, or rubbing.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I find it useful to work in groups or a series, which allows me to come at a concept from multiple directions, or explore variations to fully engage in a topic. I often combine organic and inorganic forms, personal narrative, and pattern to symbolize the ways in which our lives, nature, the products of our modern world, dogmas, or other guiding forces collide and interrelate. With this series, I have incorporated landscapes modified from my personal history, representational and abstract spaces, and geometric forms. In these works, the geometric elements represent for me guiding forces, veiled messages, and generational patterns. </span> </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Overall, I work with concepts of natural and social systems, preservation of nature, and questions of spirituality, purpose, and the beautiful. I am interested in how these systems and ideas can be revisited and understood, and how we can find more balance in ourselves and in our relationships with the natural elements in our lives. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>What is a printmaker?</b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><i>by Deb Strong Napple</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A printmaker is someone who makes prints, right?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">But what does that mean?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">As a fine artist who works both in oil painting and printmaking, I have had many conversations start with these questions. When someone meets a painter they know that they are talking with an artist who applies pigments to a canvas in order to make a unique image. They are often not aware that a printmaker does the same thing but uses wood, metal, carving tools, acids, inks, and rollers instead of brushes, knives and paint.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Let's start with a few things that I, as a printmaker, do <u>not</u> do:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: inherit;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Make photographic or scanner based copies of paintings or drawings.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Reproduce works made by other artists.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Use machines to produce large quantities of identical images.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Click an icon to make a print.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Instead, my printmaking involves:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: inherit;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Starting with an image that can best be expressed through a printmaking medium such as woodcut, collograph or etching. (Lithography, linoleum block and screenprint are other great printmaking mediums, but ones that I rarely use. So we will focus here on etching and woodcut, my favorite ways to print!) Each medium makes a unique kind of mark, and is chosen just as a painter chooses which brush or trowel to use on a canvas.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Working by hand to carve a woodblock, or to paint an acid resist onto a metal plate before etching it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Hand inking the plate or block, then manually pulling each individual print through the press.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">For each of these steps, choosing the correct knife, gouge, acid strength, ink color and amount, and pressure on the press. Each of these tools must be used in a way that will share my vision for the final piece of art with the viewer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Making limited-edition (meaning small quantities) prints that are each an original piece of art.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Of course, most images require several more steps, such as refining the cut of a woodblock once the first test print, or proof, is made. And the choice of ink color and paper often requires a few days of printing to find the right combination, especially when a multiple plate print is made. This means that for each color used in the print the artist must carve or etch a separate plate or block, then ink and print it on the same paper in succession and registration with the other colors.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Without going too far into a technical lesson on printmaking, here are some basics:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The picture above (1) shows the work bench in my printshop. Just like my painting studio, it is filled with cans and tubes of colors and the tools used to apply those colors. But here the tools are rollers and cards, as well as knives and my favorite carving tool, my Foredom. This is a powerful rotary tool that will carve wood or metal, cut, burnish or polish, while letting me control the whole process. On the right you can see a copper plate waiting to be printed, and on the left is a steel heating plate that is used to keep the ink the right temperature while applying it to metal plates for printing.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The fourth photo shows me applying ink to a copper plate. This part of the process is called "wiping." For etchings, or<i> intaglio, </i>prints, the ink is pushed into lines or shapes that have been etched into the metal. The surface is then carefully wiped, leaving just enough ink to carry the image as the artist intends. Under wiping will make a dense, blurry image, and over wiping will result in a faded-out print. Wiping is an incredibly important part of the art of printmaking, and can be just as expressive as drawing the image onto the plate.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The fifth photo shows the print that was made from the plate you see me wiping here. This print, called <i>Swipe,</i> is one that I made in collaboration with Maureen Moll, an artist friend.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For a printmaker, each step is an artistic choice. Whether to cut with the grain of a board, how deeply to etch a line into a copper plate, or how much ink to wipe off of that same plate are all decisions that the artist makes in completing an expressive, unique print.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit;">

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I have had the great privilege to study printmaking at <a href="http://www.pafa.org/">Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.</a> While earning my certificate, I spent much time learning woodcut from Dan Miller, a local master of the medium. His influence has helped me to respect the beauty of the wood, and to push myself to improve my work. The print that I am showing in this year's Juried Show was made while studying under Mr. Miller, and it reflects the passion for this art that he shared with me.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I would love to chat about printmaking! Please email me at deb@DebSN.com if you have any print questions. My portfolio of work, paintings and prints both, can be seen at <a href="http://www.debsn.com./">www.DebSN.com.</a> Please visit!</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I consider my style as expressive
realism. It’s a way of working that approaches a certain refinement in
some areas but still does not hide the hand of the artist. Although
I’ve been painting and drawing for most of my life in a variety of mediums,
I’ve been using egg tempera as my primary medium for about 12 years. I’m
drawn to its clarity of color, its crispness and the meditative process that
suits my temperament.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Egg tempera is really not the medium
for the quick, momentary impulse. The process is slow and requires going
over the same area many times, crosshatching the quick drying paint in many
layers to develop form and to bring out the optical qualities that the medium
is known for. Because of that and my attraction to scenes of fleeting
light effects, I work on my tempera paintings in the studio, using my personal
photos and often pencil sketches with notes.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">The paintings are done on a panel
usually made with hardboard and a coating of genuine gesso. The paint has
to be made fresh with each session, as it is quick drying and does not store
well in liquid form. Egg tempera paint consists of powdered
pigments, water for a solvent, and the yolk of an egg for a binder. I mix
these in a watercolor palette dish, and use a variety of brushes to thinly
apply the nearly dry paint to the panel.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Because the tempera process is slow and
requires going over the same area many times, the subject for one of these
paintings requires elements that the artist finds personally evocative and that
can serve as the focus of meditation for the time it will take to create
it. Sometimes these thoughts can be directly related to the elements of
the painting, but more often, they are memories and associations on a very
personal level.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It takes me anywhere from 2 to 5 weeks
to do a painting, generally working 5 days a week, 6 or 8 hours a day.
There’s often the question: “How many eggs does it take to make a
painting?" I usually use 1 a day; perhaps 2 or 3 in a day if I’m doing a
large area like a sky. </span></div>

prize went to Murrie Gayman for his vibrant <i>Tropical
AdironDeco</i> chairs and accompanying footstool. Gayman
graduated cum laude from the Philadelphia Museum School of Art (now the
University of the Arts) in 1958.
After successful careers designing interiors, fabrics and wall
coverings, he began a new venture in the 1990s creating huge murals for public
spaces utilizing scraps of antique barn wood. His work can be seen in many prominent Bucks County
buildings, at the Pennsylvania Visitors Welcome Center in Susquehanna County,
and at the historic Moland House in Warwick Township. <a href="http://www.barnwoodmurals.com/">www.barnwoodmurals.com</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Second prize was awarded to Ilyssa Shapiro, a young
artist whose concept chairs, <i>Urban Arbor</i>,
invite viewers to truly “take a seat” and enjoy a brief respite from life under
the cool shade of tree. On the arm of one chair is the statement, ‘If a chair
were placed with every street tree in Philadelphia, our city would be radically
different.’ Ilyssa is a thinker, problem-solver,
and designer who resides in South Philadelphia. Her personal work explores
solving problems through design often in non-traditional ways. She is particularly interested in

<span style="font-size: small;">The
Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania is located at 100 East
Northwestern Avenue in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia. The 92-acre horticulture display garden
features a spectacular collection of mature trees in a beautiful and colorful
landscape. The Arboretum includes numerous picturesque spots such as a formal
rose garden, historic water features, a swan pond, and the only remaining
freestanding fernery in North America. A new permanent nationally award winning
exhibit, <i>Out on a Limb</i> – a Tree
Adventure adds to Morris Arboretum’s allure by transporting visitors 50 feet up

<span style="font-size: small;">Housed
in a 19th-century stone Victorian mansion on six acres in the Chestnut Hill
section of Philadelphia, Woodmere first opened its doors to the public in 1940.
The building, grounds and the nucleus of the Permanent Collection are the
benefactions of Charles Knox Smith (1845 – 1916), who wished “to awaken the
spirit of, the appreciation of, and the knowledge of art … in the City of
Philadelphia and surrounding territory.” Today, the Permanent Collection
consists of more than 3,000 works of art, celebrating the art and artists of
Philadelphia. </span></div>

Woodmere Art Museum welcomes<b> Matthew J. Palczynski</b>
as its new curator. Palczynski, who most recently held the position of
Staff Lecturer for Western Art at the Philadelphia Museum of Art,
received his Ph.D. from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art with a
dissertation on the Abstract Expressionist painter Mark Rothko. He
specializes in art of the 20th and 21st centuries, and continues to
teach courses in relation to this period at Tyler.<br />
<br />
“We had over 80 candidates for the position,” says <b>William R. Valerio</b>, the Patricia Van Burgh Allison Director and <span class="caps">CEO</span>
of Woodmere Art Museum, “and Matt was the best fit for Woodmere. His
superlative credentials as an art historian, coupled with his experience
in museum education will support Woodmere’s commitment to making
connections between our visitors and our great collections of the art
of Philadelphia.”<br />
<br />
“This is a city with a long history of art and a thriving art scene,”
says Palczynski. “More and more young artists are choosing to live and
work in Philadelphia, and I am thrilled to be part of an institution
that is dedicated specifically to exploring and interpreting this new
vitality. At the same time, there are so many established artists in the
region, and I look forward to giving these artists the greater
attention they deserve.”<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>Palczynski will oversee the Chestnut Hill institution’s collection,
which spans four centuries of Philadelphia art, representing a living
history of Philadelphia’s artists, past and present. Much of Woodmere’s
collection is now available online at the newly launched <a href="http://woodmerecollection.org/"><b>woodmerecollection.org</b></a>. The collections database offers an interactive forum where ideas, knowledge and stories can be shared.<br />
<br />
Continually adding to its collection, Woodmere is also pleased to announce the acquisition of <b><i>Woman with Red Hair</i></b>, a stunning Modernist portrait by American painter <b>Arthur B. Carles </b>(1882 – 1952). This is the second Carles acquisition for the Museum, which added <i>Abstract Bouquet</i> to its collection last fall, when it was featured in the exhibition <i>Mary <span class="caps">G.L.</span> Hood and Philadelphia Modernism</i>.
Born in Philadelphia, Carles also spent time in Paris, where he
developed a European Avant Garde style influenced by the painterly
school of Fauvism and the work of Henri Matisse. <i>Woman with Red Hair</i>,
believed to have been painted in Paris in 1922, is an excellent example
of Carles’ interest in color play — his use of green and purple in his
model’s skin tone becomes striking against the dominating vibrant red
palette.<br />

“<i>Woman with Red Hair</i> is the most sensual, sensuously painted
and fully developed portrait Carles painted of his French red-headed
model Angele,” says art historian <b>Barbara Wolanin</b>.
“Rather than flattening the figure into an abstract composition, Carles
artfully caught his model’s features in near-profile, showing her drape
sliding suggestively off her shoulder. I am delighted that <i>Woman with Red Hair</i>
is now part of Woodmere Art Museum, where the public will be able to
share Carles’ delight in his model and in capturing her with color.”<br />
<br />
The painting, a gift of Linda and James Ries in memory of Rose Ries
in 2011, was exhibited at Woodmere in 2000 and has also been shown at
the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Woodmere owns a print by
Carles of the same model, given to the collection by June and Perry
Ottenberg. Carles lived and worked in his home on Evergreen Avenue in
Chestnut Hill. “This is a wonderfully sensual painting that expands Woodmere’s
ability to tell the story of Philadelphia art,” says Valerio. “This is a
major work of art.”Woodmere Art Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02449197478674083544noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809359934885291910.post-74765557316699200802011-12-08T11:57:00.000-05:002011-12-08T11:57:10.997-05:00Music at Woodmere: Philadelphia Big Brass<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Woodmere welcomes the return of the large-scale landscape hay maze to the front lawn for the months of September and October. This year’s maze, titled Owl’s Eye, is a labyrinth of concentric circles made with bales of hay, evoking the shape of an owl’s eye. The fall season also includes two new children’s exhibitions featuring artwork by local students, an art installation in the museum’s new Children’s Garden and Friday Night Family Happenings through December. A full schedule of family oriented, art-inspired programming can be viewed at <a href="http://www.wooodmereartmuseum.org/">www.wooodmereartmuseum.org</a>.<br />

On select Friday evenings in September through December, Woodmere invites families to spend an evening at the museum with Fall Friday Night Family Happenings, a series of art-making activities for children ages 4-11. The first activities include Moustache Making (September 9), Pinwheels for Peace (September 16) and The Greatest Pumpkin Ever (October 21). The Friday family programming will run in conjunction with Friday Night Jazz at Woodmere, the museum’s popular jazz series. Museumgoers and music lovers are invited to stroll Woodmere’s galleries, enjoy wine and cheese, and hear live jazz performances while the kids participate in the family programs.<br />
<br />
<b>Children’s Exhibitions</b><br />
Local students from Edgewood Elementary School, Quarry Hill Elementary School and Pennsbury High School will exhibit their work in Impressions, a new exhibition on display in Woodmere’s Helen Millard Children’s Gallery from September 11 – October 23.The exhibit highlights how students use elements and principles of design to illustrate their surroundings.<br />
<br />
The winter months will bring a second children’s exhibition – <i>Into the Atmosphere: Kids Care 18, </i>on display November 6 – December 18. Inspired by space and stars, Into the Atmosphere features artwork created by hundreds of children around the region, made as holiday gifts. The exhibition marks the museum’s 18th annual Kids Care collaboration with WXPN’s 88.5 FM’s Kids Corner with Kathy O’Connell.<br />

The Helen Millard Children’s Gallery is a permanent exhibition space dedicated to exhibiting artwork by and for young people. All exhibitions in the gallery, which first opened in 1986, are installed in a professional manner, providing both student participants and visitors a one-of-a-kind museum experience.<br />
<br />
Woodmere will also introduce a new Children’s Garden on the grounds of the museum, located beside the George D. Widener Studio building, a converted carriage house used for year-round art instruction. For six years, Woodmere’s Summer Arts Community Programhas collaborated with children from differing ages, ethnicities and neighborhoods to construct a major work of art. The 2011 project <b>Monsters, Myths, and Magic</b> brought together 29 children and young adults, ages 8-22, for two weeks, to create mythical creatures and monsters. Under the direction of Woodmere educator and artist Hildy Tow students designed and built fanciful wooden creatures, a giant bird’s nest, jeweled stepping stones, birds, birdhouses and butterflies, to be installed amongst the flower beds in the Children’s Garden. An opening reception will be held on Sunday, September 18 from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. Woodmere Art Museumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02449197478674083544noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809359934885291910.post-35548246613786074922011-08-09T08:44:00.000-04:002011-08-09T08:44:51.709-04:00Building the House of Wisdom: A Closer Look at Violet Oakley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3AU6yYGDsuKGdFugeyQZB-zggRII77CVwg_LKyAfcLWFv36GnJnMWMnAg7DktQI1bJw3NPz1GChLKusDamh7xXtC9NAPlTcIdiFTG4XWey86xms_HYxDmAdQu7fSNFeQz2VWL2SmvIrI/s1600/OakleyMural_ManAndScience_Press.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3AU6yYGDsuKGdFugeyQZB-zggRII77CVwg_LKyAfcLWFv36GnJnMWMnAg7DktQI1bJw3NPz1GChLKusDamh7xXtC9NAPlTcIdiFTG4XWey86xms_HYxDmAdQu7fSNFeQz2VWL2SmvIrI/s400/OakleyMural_ManAndScience_Press.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In 1911, Violet Oakley (1874 – 1961) created a mural cycle, <i>The Building of the House of Wisdom, </i>for the central hall of the mansion of Charlton Yarnall at 17th and Locust Streets in Philadelphia. The murals were painted on canvas shapes that were inserted into the architectural structure.</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When the Yarnall House was remodeled in the early 1970s, the murals were rescued and brought to Woodmere by Edith Emerson, the Museum’s first director and Oakley’s partner. Unfortunately, the cut glass dome that Oakley designed to crown the hall was destroyed.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Three massive, semi-circular lunettes represent the ages of man from childhood through youth and maturity. Six octagonal panels were set into the arches over the lunettes, and they tell the stories of <i>The Life of Hercules and American Invention. </i>Pendentives, which connected the lunettes to the dome, show the advance of architecture through the ages. One of the four pendentives was not taken by Emerson back to Woodmere.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>The Building of the House of Wisdom</i> is a metaphor from the Old Testament’s Book of Proverbs that describes how an individual can achieve health, wealth, and harmony with the world. Oakley believed that artists should communicate universal truths, and she sought to apply the humanistic ideals of the Italian Renaissance to modern life. She created <i>The Building of the House of Wisdom</i> after spending time in Rome and drew upon the lofty models of Michelangelo’s <i>Sistine Chapel</i> and Raphael’s <i>Stanze.</i></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This Spring 2011 exhibition was the first time <i>The Building of the House of Wisdom</i> had been exhibited in its entirety after being conserved in 2007 by Woodmere, thanks to a grant from the William Penn Foundation. This exhibition will be on display again September 25, 2011.</div><br />

Situated between the two archetypal female presences of mother and nurse, the child is safe to dream about the great figures of history and literature to which they have introduced him. In his imagination, historical luminaries populate the stairway of his home: Confucius, the author of the Analects (lower left); Solomon, the author of the Book of Proverbs, holding a chest of treasure (left); Cicero (lower right); and Dante, preceded by his courtly, idealized love, Beatrice (right). The scene takes place in a stairwell made using post and lintel construction, the first architectural doorway. The child must climb the stairs to reach the next level of maturity, symbolized in the lunette <i>Youth and the Arts. </i></span><br />

As part of the roofing and climate control replacement project at Woodmere, all of the 1987 vintage equipment, including a 40-ton air handler and ductwork, have been removed from the roof of the museum. This equipment provided conditioned air to the exhibition galleries and had reached the end of its useful life.<br />

Prior to demolition, because the roof area over the collection storage facility would be affected, the museum’s collection was moved into several exhibition galleries. These galleries have been equipped with temporary portable climate control equipment, which will provide conditioned air to the collection until the roof over the storage facility has been replaced. Temporary air conditioning units have also been installed in the Corridor, Founder’s, and Parlor Galleries to provide an environment that permits artwork to remain in place and allow public access. All of the Climate Control equipment will be replaced, with the exception of the boilers. During that time, the Museum admission will be free.<br />
<br />
The roof project is not simply a replacement, but a redesign. Dan McCoubrey of Venturi, Scott Brown and Associates has redesigned what was once a flat roof with longstanding pooling problems. The new roof will have increased pitch to ensure that it sheds water quickly and completely. Roof runoff will be directed into French Drains, which with a civil engineer’s stamp, will reduce stormwater billing.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: small;">ABOUT MARUCA:</span></b><br />
<b> </b><br />
<b>Maruca Design </b>is a small design house nestled in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado. We're a collaborative, eclectic group (with a couple of odd ones, but nevertheless effective) sharing one common thread: our love for unusual and progressive fabrics. Twice a year our designer (one of the odd ones mentioned above) creates a new fabric line which is then<b> cleverly handcrafted into Maruca handbags.</b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>As much as we'd like to, we can't take all the credit... Our close working relationship with U.S. textile mills ensures the state-of-the-art sophistication of our <b>jacquard woven fabrics. </b>We pride ourselves on the craftmanship of cutting and sewing each bag by hand. (Our beloved Boulder seamstresses – what would we do without them!)<br />
<br />
Since making our very first handbag in 1991, we've been totally committed to being <b>100% U.S. made</b> while practicing the highest business standards.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>We hope you are equally inspired by the colorful world we share! Enjoy!</b><br />

The Clef Club is incredibly talented and we really enjoyed having them perform at Woodmere! Enjoy some photos we took of the event. A special thanks to all the parents and families that came out to support Woodmere and the Clef Club!</span><br />
