I will be showing two books in the Exhibition of Handmade Artists Books at the New Mexico Capitol Rotunda Gallery in Santa Fe. The opening reception will be Friday, September 18, from 4-6 pm, and the show will run through December 11. Here is a link to an article in the Journal North: http://www.abqjournal.com/639019/entertainment/headline-395.html The first book is “Swimming Upstream” , acrylic ink and hand-carved rubber stamps on paper, and the second is “In the Bosque: Night and Day”, acrylic ink on paper. Both are interwoven split concertinas and are 8 1/4″ high and 22″ long when opened out.

About Julie Wagner
I was born in Wisconsin, and grew up on the east coast, wandering the woods, collecting leaves, bones, and bugs. After earning a BA from Oberlin College, studying sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum School, and receiving an MFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, After 50 years of living in a small, rural town in northern New Mexico, I moved to Albuquerque,and built a live-in studio, where I continue to paint and make artist's books. My work is based on the natural environment where I live, maps, scientific diagrams and microscopic images. My work is in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
