Judy, When we were in Texas, my sister gave me Alan Shield's obit. It was
in the Herington, Kansas paper. (My sister lives in Herington) Alan
Shields was from Herington.

Thanks for introducing me to Alan Shields,

I am embarrassed to say, I was not familiar with the work of Alan Shields:
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/shields_alan.html

Excellent artist to introduce with mixed media prints - on handmade paper.
Many of Shield's prints are embossed. Those of you with etching prints
might want to give embossing a try.

I did not research long enough to see if Shields did any of his own
printing. Various print shops are listed.

WOW! check these out at Pace:

Have students do some weaving of their prints - in honor of Shields

Non-objective prints.

Knowing Betty's interest in printmaking, I assumed he made prints.

Thanks for sharing him with us.
