Printmaking Final Four

The second weekend of the NCAA Basketball tournament is over, and my brackets are pretty much a disaster. But I'm pleasantly surprised to have one of my print exhibition schools left alive- Villanova. I had two prints on display there in 1997, part of a juried show called Art & Religion, organized by the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies in Philadelphia. Artist response to the show was so huge (over 2000 entries) that they ended up splitting the show into 2 locations, with some of the work going to nearby Villanova University. The jurors ended up selecting 4 of my saints (the most works accepted of any artist in the show), splitting them between the locations. The two that went to Villanova were St Cecilia and St Augustine.

As for the Wildcats, the tournament is notoriously difficult to predict, but the way they looked against Duke and Pittsburgh, they look to have as good a chance as any of the teams to win the whole thing.
