Two well-known and well-respected Printmakers passed away in 2010. Both of them were honorary members of the California Society of Printmakers.
Nathan Oliveira
Nathan Oliveira, 1928-2010, born in Oakland, CA, exhibited with Bay Printmakers Society beginning in 1956. In 1968 Bay Printmakers and California Society of Etchers merged to become California Society of Printmakers. Oliveira was awarded Honorary Lifetime Membership in CSP in 1993. A few images of his prints are located here with a long list of his exhibitions.
Beth Van Hoesen
Beth Van Hoesen, 1916-2010, is first mentioned in the CSP archives in 1958 when she helped organize a few exhibits, and in 1959 she was President of the Society. She was awarded Honorary Lifetime Membership to the CSP in 1996. A few of her etchings that were published by Crown Point Press in 1965 can be viewed on the Annex Galleries website. Some nice illustrations of her animal paintings and prints are seen on her Facebook page, as well as on the Nancy Dodds Gallery website.

Intercambio Gráfica Printmaking Exchange: NY – Mazatlán
July 15-September 11, 2010
BluSeed Studios, Saranac Lake, NY
24 Cedar Street, Saranac Lake,
New York 12983
Phone: (518) 891-3799
Intercambio Gráfica Printmaking Exchange: NY – Mazatlán is an exciting exchange
of art and ideas between three graphic studios and ten artists. This international exchange
between Glen Rogers Studio and Taller de Gráfica Experimental in Mazatlán, Mexico
and BluSeed Studios, Saranac Lake, NY culminated in a traveling exhibition currently
showing at BluSeed Studios. The show was inaugurated at the Rubio Gallery at the
Angela Peralta Theatre in Mazatlán January 21 through March 1. Monotypes, photo-
etchings, hand-made paper, linoleum and woodblock and mixed media prints are
featured.
From January 18th through the 25th the artists affiliated with BluSeed Studios, Nancy
Brossard, John La Falce, Katherine Levin-Lau, Carol Marie Vossler, and Larry Poole,
worked in the studio of Glen Rogers, held demonstrations, and exchanged ideas with the
students and teachers of the Centro Municipal de Artes. Art Professor Lucila Santiago
hosted the artists from New York in her classes to share their expertise in printmaking.
In July, the 5 artists from Mazatlán; Gia Alexander, Mark Jay, Glen Rogers, Lucila
Santiago, and Rafael Avila Tirado, traveled to Saranac Lake for 10 days to work at
Bluseed Studios. There they had the opportunity to work in the papermaking and print
studios and shared their techniques with local artists. But in both locations, the exchange
went far beyond the studios as the artists had the opportunity to experience the culture,
enjoy the diverse environments, and make lasting friendships.
The exchange was the developed by Katherine Levin-Lau, Glen Rogers, and Carol
Marie Vossler. Levin-Lau and Rogers had shared studio space earlier in the careers.
Below is a link to a radio interview on NCPR (North Country Public Radio)
with Carol Marie Vossler, Lucila Santiago, Rafael Avila, Mark Jay and Glen Rogers
while visiting Saranac Lake in July.
