I spent Saturday afternoon beginning my tour of the St. Louis artists open studio weekend. First up in this year's series of portraits of St. Louis artists is Amanda Verbeck. Her irresistible smile swept her into the lead off spot but her work will keep your attention. She makes works on paper based on things like grains of pollen (lower right in this picture) . Sometimes part of her process is to leave objects on photosensitive plates, resulting in a printable negative on metal. It's a little like the photograms made by Man Ray and László Moholy-Nagy decades ago, but much more graphically sophisticated. Her web site is Pele Prints and you can find her on Facebook.
