Illustrating the Iliad

While on a recent visit to the island Paros, I had the distinct privilege of helping my teacher and friend, Jane Morris Pack, install her show of prints. Since I have known Jane, for about five years, she has held the idea of illustrating Homer’s Iliad. Alas, she has completed a wonderful body of monotypes and paintings revolving around this theme. After several days flurrying with activity the show was up and looked spectacular. If you would like to see the work or purchase an image or book, visit http://www.janemorrispack.com.
