12//11 It's a countdown!! 0 days left! Thanks so much for helping support USA Project Contemporary Paper and Encaustic


I am so honored to have been selected by USA Artists 
to promote a very special research project 
entitled Contemporary Paper and Encaustic

I am seeking funding
to help me travel across the U.S. to conduct studio visits with 28 international visual artists: one-on-one taped interviews with inspiring and dynamic artists that will be incorporated into the portfolio section of my e-book Contemporary Paper & Encaustic.

Contemporary Paper & Encaustic bridges the media worlds of artist books, paper and encaustic by presenting the work and processes of a full range of innovative artists from around the world in an
e-publication, a brand new type of teaching tool formatted for use on the computer.

You can select art as a donor reward!  
Some very talented artists have gotten behind my project 
and are offering you a piece of their art if you donate to my project!  
Pledge on the USA site with the correct amount (or more), 
then email me via the USA site to alert me to your chosen artwork. 
See below what incredible work of art could be yours!
(If it is marked CLAIMED, then it is no longer up for grabs...
if two donors bid for the same work, the earlier of the 2 bids will receive the work)
Thanks so much to all the generous artists~
