Kristina Hagman with her "36 Views of Mt Rainier" woodblock prints at Sideral Press
Yesterday I stopped by an Open Studio reception for Artist
Kristina Hagman at
Sideral Press in Tukwila. I have written about Kristina and her Art several times on the
DANIEL SMITH Blog and her “
36 Views of Mt Rainier“. I was excited to see her work again, and for the first time, ALL 36 prints were hanging on a single wall. It is striking to see the prints all together…just awesome like Mt Rainier itself as you look up to see the prints laid out 3 high and 12 across.
Sidereal Press is in a renovated “barn” and is a gorgeous space where owner
Sheila Coppola works with artists hand printing the artwork on some amazing presses. Sheila and Kristina showed me the cool old press (I think I was told it was a newspaper letterpress) that they pulled Kristina’s’ prints from. They gave me a little demo to show me how it worked, which was fascinating. Thank you Kristina and Sheila!

Kristina is also currently showing some of her work at the
Kirkland Arts Center as part of the Seattle Print Arts’ ten-year anniversary celebration. The show: “
TEN: Seattle Print Arts 2010 Anniversary Exhibition“ is on now through June 5th.

May 15th, 2010 categories: DANIEL SMITH: Artists' Materials, Welcome to my Blog!

After having “disappeared” for a while, I am re-inspired to begin blogging again here at Seattle’s Urban Villages.
***
I have been actively blogging for
DANIEL SMITH Artist’s Materials on the
DanielSmithBlog (over 2 years & 267 posts so far!) and have been their Social Media (
Facebook &
Twitter) Specialist since late last June which has kept me busy while I was on what turned out to be, a real estate hiatus. For a number of reasons, I was not feeling very engaged with real estate (the blog, & other things) and this hiatus had been beneficial for me to re-energize and re-connect for this renaissance.
It’s actually feeling very exciting to step back into the Real Estate Market (the blog, & other things) again. I have re-thought my purpose, and this gestational period has allowed me to grow in many ways that will benefit my clients, friends, family, and myself.
There is a lot for me to write about here on the blog, about Seattle Real Estate and Seattle’s Urban Villages, Art will be featured, AND I have a lot to say about a wide range of topics as well.
As Captain Picard would say…..”Engage!”
