Eli Levin and the Santa Fe Etching Club




Eli Levin gave a talk at the Argos Studio/Gallery in Santa Fe, on August 19, 2018. With Sarah McCarty, he co-founded the Santa Fe Etching Club in 1981 (as well as founded the oldest Santa Fe Drawing Group, since 1969).

Eli has also participated in the last Horned Toad Print Exchange II and the YayBig Print Exchange before that.  However, the talk was mostly about his tempera paintings and his new book, which was reviewed in the Santa Fe Reporter.
