Your generous contribution will provide for travel costs to conduct interviews in video format of from 14 - 28  international artists depending upon how this project is funded.

I envsion capturing them in their U.S. studios, enlightening us as to their processes, ideas and content. 

I invite you to look at the showcase of the visual artists I've curated to interview.  Traveling solo to conduct the interviews, I will then collaborate with artist Robert Renfrow, who specializes in photography and video, to edit and create the videos.

The studio visit interviews will comprise the second half  of my envisioned e-book, Contemporary Paper and Encaustic. These international artists  explore the diversity of paper combined with the unique properties of wax in collage and chine-collé, photography and printmaking techniques, sculptural paper (either cast, formed or woven), encaustic monoprinting and molten painting on paper, and in artists books.
