Fundraiser
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.
For over 30 years, I've been enamored with paper and artist books and for the last 17 have avidly explored encaustic (painting with molten wax). Contemporary Paper & Encaustic bridges these media worlds 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.
Please help support my project!

WHY IS CATHERINE NASH WITH USA PROJECTS?
Catherine has been selected to participate in a new online community of America’s finest artists called USA Projects. This
site was created by United States Artists to expand its mission of
investing in America’s finest artists. USA Projects provides a platform
for promotion and fundraising for individual artists projects.
WHAT IS CATHERINE GOING TO CREATE?
She's got a big vision. Her book will be a full 200+ page e-book with "turnable" pages — a brand new type of teaching tool formatted for use on a computer. It will be available both on DVD or online. It will encompass both a gallery section that includes a work each from 90+ international artists as well as a portfolio section that includes a 4 page spread for each of 28 international artists with their embedded video interview within their pages. She plans to focus on how media corroborates with the expression of artists ideas and content.

Wax and the Artist Book
Bookworks by Catherine Nashleft: Dark to Light, 2009
This is a first entry about this subject...I am learning so much about what other artists are doing with combining the media. Did a nation wide call for artists incorporating wax into their bookworks last fall and will lecture about it at the upcoming International Encaustic Symposium at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA in early June. I am honored to be included in a concurrent show curated by Director Joanne Mattera there called Wax Libris...should be great!

Not that I am an expert...just was completely curious about what was going on "out there". Received a lot of wonderful entries and am currently organizing it into a power point lecture format. Once I get it together, I will blog again with images from some of the included artists.
In the meantime, I have been focusing on my own bookworks, some with the inclusion of wax, some without and thought to post them now. I will be showing in a book exhibition entitled The Book: Wide Open from May 22 - July 3rd at the Business of Art Center in Manitou Springs, CO with some wonderful artists!
