Editor’s Letter
There's a magnet on a bulletin board in my house whose message haunts me from time to time. It's a quote from writer Annie Dillard: "How we spend our days is how we spend our lives." It reminds me that the future is now. Life is short, and there's no time like the present to respond to the creative muse within.
I felt the same conviction about an exhortation I once saw on an artist's T-shirt: "Go to your studio and make something!"
Yet modern life offers a million distractions, a million ways to kill time or at least stand by idly ...

Janis’ work is the result of a laborious and challenging process. Similar to scrafftio, where a design is scratched through a colored ground revealing another color beneath; to produce the image Janis sifts black glass powder onto sheet glass, scraping away the powder to produce the detail. The image is suspended between layers of sheet glass and fired in a kiln to fuse the constituent pieces together. In this manner any number of images can be combined to produce complex juxtapositions. The result is a collage produced entirely in glass, built from a time-consuming process allowing for an extended contemplation ...

Once upon a time the art historian Linda Nochlin pondered the question, “Why have there been no great women artists?” That was 1971. In 2007, as Eleanor Heartney, Helaine Posner, Nancy Princenthal and Sue Scott—prominent critics and curators who happen to be women—attest, this question is no longer relevant. Over the past 35 years, due in no small part to the feminist movement, women have become a significant presence in the contemporary art world. Posner tells us that Louise Bourgeois, with her psychosexually charged ...
