“North American Review” Spring 2022 Featured Artist

Written by mw

What an honor to be chosen as the featured artist for the “North American Review” Spring 2022 issue. And what an insightful commentary on my ink blot painting “Sanctuary” in the “From the Editor” column “…dark and light sharing space.”

“From The Editor” North American Review, Spring 2022

The oldest literary magazine in the nation…

“As the oldest literary magazine in the nation, our selected works reflect the breadth of the American experience, and encompass any voices that are committed to telling rich narratives that challenge the status quo.“

A wonderful and thought provoking read, my copy is well dog-eared already.
