Booksmart Studio embraces the new digital printing technologies
while holding on the old values of traditional craftsmanship,
printmaking, photography, and the studio arts. The studio prides itself
on blending these old values with new technology to create works that
encompass both state-of-the-art printing and classic hands-on
personalization. This upcoming exhibition will celebrate the
combination of new technology with an enduring emphasis on fine
craftsmanship and quality.
The exhibition, recognizing and
celebrating innovation and talent in digital printing, will be juried
by Barbara Ellison. Barbara Ellison has been fortunate to be able to
combine in her career five of favorite pasttimes: photography,
teaching, art, gardening and travel. She has represented Canon USA as a
pro market representative since 1989, which has given her the
opportunity to shoot and teach extensively. Her work has ranged from
political events to sports to scenics and, a particular favorite,
flowers. (Her husband Michael has an orchid nursery.) In addition to
teaching general photography classes and Canon specifically(both
cameras and printers), she teaches handcoloring techniques and special
digital applications. Her work is published in various books, including
Digital Photo Art and Black and White Digital Photography. She has
exhibited in galleries all over the United States.

For this exhibition Booksmart Studio will be accepting 2-D and
3-D artwork, as well as Artist’s Books. All artwork submitted must be
completed using alternative digital printing techniques such as, inkAID
precoatings or Booksmart Fine Art Metal. Images printed directly to
precoated papers do not qualify for this exhibit, the idea is the
process of creating work through various techniques utilized in the
printing process rather than in Adobe Photoshop™. To apply send a
completed entry form along with a CD of work that is comprised of up to
3 images per entry fee.
Digital File format:
RGB, images no more than 5MB in size, JPEG files.
Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you wish to have you digital materials returned.
Exhibition sponsored in part by Canon USA, inkAID, & Booksmart Studio
