Susan Jaworski-Stranc's portfolio of new prints, "In the Kitchen"

After three months of planning, designing and cutting linoleum blocks, the editions of10 new reduction prints have been signed, framed and are presently hanging in a three person show entitled, "In the Kitchen" at the Newburyport Art Association. The show is a collection of new work inspired by the art of cooking and eating well.

I decided to take an edgier approach to subject matter. Animals (in living form) take center stage as well as antique milk bottles and a spoof on Bell's Seasonings.

The show continues through Wednesday, October 28 at NAA, 65 Water Street, Newburyport. 11-5 daily,
October 24 until 7P www.newburyportart.org
