A Festschrift for Bill / by Miriam Schaer

A number of artists created prints in memory of Vamp & Tramp’s Bill Stewart, contibuting to a Festschrift honoring his life and contribution to the bookarts. This Herculean undertaking was organized by Marnie Powers-Torrey. Bill was a great supporter of my work, but also a friend who would check in and cheer me on! He passed in late 2019, and is greatly missed. I selected the title for my print, Let Books Be Your Pleasure Gardens, as it was also an exhibition of artist books at Yale, and seemed the perfect tribute. Due to the Pandemic, all posts are a bit behind. This project was completed in May 2020.
