"Traces" Exhibition in Finland

In May & June 2002, I had the great pleasure of having an exhibition called "Traces" with friends and colleagues Bonnie Jordan and Steven Dixon at the Pohjanmaan Museum’s Taidehalli in Vaasa, Finland.

Please look at: TRACES, a site specifically about this exhibition.

We all travelled to Finland for this great event. Naturally, I was translator and guide in my birth country as we toured around. In Vaasa we met well-known printmaker Juha Tammenpaa, who kindly showed us his wonderful work, and gave us a very interesting tour of the Vaasa Printmakers Shop (site is in Finnish). Other highlights of the Vaasa area were the ruin area of Old Vaasa and the Stundars outdoor museum.

A quick visit was made to the 775-year old city of Turku and its fascinating Aboe Vetus museum of history & archaeology.
