Michelle Ray: Reader’s Art 12
Michelle Ray: Reader's Art 12 Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home Michelle Ray-Admeasure 2011 Text and image printed from photopolymer plates and linoleum blocks on handmade and Somerset Book papers, edition of 35.

Reader's Art 12: Longing for Home March 16- April 26, 2012 Susan Hensel Gallery The focus of Susan Hensel Gallery is on compelling objects, meaningful use of materials, and also engaging sculpture.
