I am participating in the Circuit des Arts Mephrémagog again this summer, July 24^th to 1^st of August. I will be exhibiting my glass, some prints & cards at my studio at 5270 Chemin Curtis in Stanstead East. My Circuit site in the brochure is #42. This will be my third consecutive year in the Circuit.

I am also participating in the Collective Exhibit of the Circuit at the Centre Culturel in Magog. Visit www.circuitdesarts.com for further information.
I enjoy doing this studio tour because it gives an opportunity to meet very interesting people. It also affords me (positive) feedback on my work, which is nice to hear and inspires me to keep working. If you would like to visit my studio at any time you can do so by calling for an appointment at 819-876-2530.

I will also be showing my work at Murray Hall in the Festival des Arts Georgeville-Fitch Bay, July 24^th-August 1^st. The vernissage will be held at Murray Hall on July 23^rd 6pm-9pm. Hope you can make it. www.festivaldesarts.net

traces III Merchant's Award AAG show

I recieved a Merchants Award at the Created Impressions show at the AAG in Phoenix Linda Haas:THANK YOU LINDA, who organized the show, which was a logistic nightmare, sends this in her e-mail:

"Nathan did a great job jurying our show. I was quite impressed. FYI, he walked around and looked at everything and told me it was a very good and diverse show--he liked the fact that there were so many different techniques. He walked around a second time and jotted things down. The third time he walked around more jotting and very close inspection. Time number four he fine-tuned it with those close up inspections before making his final list. He was extremely thorough. When he handed me the list, I asked him why he changed some of his former decisions. He said he looked at edges, finishing touches, chine colle applications, line curvature, color layering... and the list went on. I was very impressed. It really taught me to look at my own prints differently from now on. He plans on being there Sunday to make an artist statement, so you may ask him to comment on your work if you so desire.
Some of you may already know Nathan. He has a B.A. in Fine Arts in drawing and printmaking from Northern Illinois University and his Master's from ASU in printmaking. He teaches at ASU, PVCC, Mesa Arts Center, and Redeemer Christian School."

STAINED GLASS AND INTAGLIO ARTIST EXTRAORDINAIRE

Written by Heather Paterson

MARIKA SZABO

One sign of a real artist, to my mind, is her ability to sit through the discomfort of not knowing where her art is taking her. This period may last a week or two, or, as in the case of stained glass and intaglio artist, Marika Szabo, it may last a whole winter. “I know something is changing, but I don’t know where it’s going, or how I’m going to do it. It’s hard.”

Szabo has been developing as an artist since she first took potting courses in the late 60s. To earn a living, she first made functional ware, like cups and bowls, but eventually began to desire something more challenging and suitable to her temperament. She abandoned ceramics and took art classes at Bishop’s and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. There she learned that she preferred to work in two dimensional-art. On a visit to California, she discovered stained glass, and was immediately taken with it. She still loves to work in this medium.

When she first began to work with stained glass in the Eastern Townships in the 70s there was almost nothing in the way of stained glass supplies in Quebec, and she had to beg some pieces of industrial glass from a Montreal factory. Now “the sky is the limit” in the choice of glass. “You can find glass of every colour, texture and surface.” Most of her glass comes from Bendheim, New York, where they import German & French hand-made antique and semi-antique glass. She likes to work with antique hand-made glass, but it is expensive and so she often settles for semi-antique, whose texture is artificially made.
