One of the missions of PMOF ("The Home for Wayward Print Girls and Boys") is to help sanely transition good printmakers from college to being an live-to-make-work-another-day artist without dropping them on their heads out of college. It is my strong belief we all need to work at that. And that we gather around us inter-everything people who make prints. PMOF is not a non-profit, but just a shop and does not have outside funding. It’s a forum to think up stuff and do it – like this portfolio.
Thank you so much for your help, heart, brains and printmaking!
