I'm pleased to mention
that one of my polymer plate photogravures entitled "Hetta's Bowl
With Pears" from a the limited edition series The Adventures of Hetta's
Bowl won the grand prize at the Norris Cultural Art's Center VICINITY Show and
the Lester J. Norris Memorial Award. This is a juried show that includes
all types of art media submitted by artists from the Chicago area.
This image & print is
the first of a series of 10 images based on this beautiful old wooden bowl.
Hetta is the mother of dear friends and was quite a wonderful character.
She was a social worker and wife of a prominent University of Chicago
Professor in Sociology, Clifford Shaw. He
started the Chicago Area Project and his work led to the development of the
Peace Corps by Shri ver. Hetta made wonderful salads in this bowl using a
technique all her own and had a wonderful way with people. My favorite
quote from Hetta regarding politicians: "Something that a few good
Christian burials might solve!"

The show will be up
October 3 through November 14 at the Norris
Cultural Arts
Center in St. Charles, Illinois.
Pardon me in advance for
my lack of humility in sharing this.
