Greetings to all and happy 2013! As Highpoint launches into another year of new print projects, education partnerships and co-op artists’ adventures, we wanted to pause and take this moment to thank a very important group of people — our board members, past and present.

In the world of non-profits, good board members are like gold. They inspire, advise, counsel, motivate, donate and dream. Now twelve years old, Highpoint would not be a success without a long list of “gold” board members, all volunteers, who helped get HP started, and still keep us going today.

Our founding board members listened and advised and supported Highpoint when it Heidi Goldberg only existed on paper — they had the foresight to believe in the idea of Highpoint and put Past Dark II Intaglio, 2012 their great energies behind the start-up phase. All our thanks to these “pioneers” who helped Highpoint get off the ground! Dennis Michael Jon, Associate Curator of Prints and at the And now we say a warm farewell and thank you to three HP board members who are Institute of Arts, helped curate this show rotating off after many years of generous service — board chair Amy Walsh Kern, treasurer and the result is a wonderfully varied exhibit Tony Branfort, and art consultant Don McNeil. These three individuals have given of works.

6 Tales from the Co-op

Profiles of artists currently working in Highpoint’s Artists’ Cooperative

Cathy Ryan A California native, I’ve spent the last eight years in Minnesota where my first truly serious encounters with printmaking and the book arts came through the post- baccalaureate program at MCAD in 2005 – 2006. For the next several years, I continued my art practice through Continuing Studies at MCAD and classes at Minnesota Center for Book Arts. In 2011, I received a Jerome Cathy Ryan from the Atlas Portfolio Fellowship from MCBA; the need for more Screenprint concentrated studio access led me to Highpoint. My work is landscape based. It’s about forging a stronger connection to place and the eloquence, harmony and force of nature. I’m fascinated with the geometry of its shifting rhythms and patterns. I often work with a combination of text and image to explore the intersections between human experience, the cycles and seasons of the natural world and the melding of past and present. I am truly thankful to be a part of the Highpoint community. To work with so many talented people in such a beautiful environment is a wonderful gift. This is a great place to make art!

Anna Orbovich My work explores the phenomenon of the natural geological land formations that make up our planet. I am interested in how they’re formed, what properties they hold, and the changes they are continually going through. This interest in geology has provided me with source material and inspiration for my work. I experiment with the medium of etching to explore process and mark making, and just as land formations operate and influence each other, the processes and Anna Orbovich marks I create through etching do the same.
