This solar print collage is dedicated to teacher Stephen LeWinter. I learned solar printmaking from him at St. Mary's Art Center in Virginia City. He was a wonderful teacher who succumbed to cancer, but whose memory lives on in the lives of his students. The piece began with one of the prints completed the summer of 2005. Originally, the piece was 5 x 7 inches, but I'm submitting it into a show called Nevada Wide Open that requires the pieces be 2.5 x 3, so the piece was modified by tearing and adding the torn pieces to create the collage. The green is colored pencil and the bit of brown silk ribbon came from a 2007 Christmas package.
