The Collector's Print is a chance for you to collect a limited edition, hand-pulled print by one of Atlanta's most noted and loved artists, and to support the Atlanta Printmakers Studio. This print is a limited edition etching called "Just a Note" by Ruth Laxson. (Order form is below).

"This etching is a poetic effort to retrieve the joy of mail hand delivered by the postman" says Laxson, "and an attempt to foster the survival of the handwritten page."  Communication is a major theme of Laxson’s work. She uses language as a working material. Automatic writing and pattern poetry are the hallmarks of Laxson’s artistic style as she merges text and image into text as image.
