The Sonoran Arts Network is a monthly online journal published by C.J. Shane. The journal, which is a labor of love by Shane, has been in publication for several years, “connecting arts and communities in the Sonoran bioregion”. There are so many artists doing such good work with so little recognition that I hope this publication will eventually lead to all kinds of interesting results.
Recently, Shane asked me if I would like to be interviewed for the October issue. Of course I said yes. A number of thoughtful questions required me to get introspective. Here’s the link to this interview which also includes lots of photographs of my paintings.
Be sure to take a look at the Sustainability Fund page in the e-journal. I’d be delighted if Shane received some money as a result of this blog post. As I mentioned above, the Sonoran Arts Network is literally a labor of love, taking many hours of Shane’s time and much energy. At this point her funding comes from reader contributions. I’d also like to point out that you can sign up to receive the monthly mailing. It’s always a treat when it hits my inbox—something to look forward to every month.
Shane is a remarkable person with a fascinating life story. Take a look at her website to see what I mean. Shane is an accomplished artist—painter, relief printmaker and creator of artist books, as well as a published writer. Not to mention an editor, a librarian, a historian and an avid gardener.
