“We have experienced an unequalled assault on democracy from an extreme faction of oligarchs, a re-elected grifter President, a separation-of-powers abrogating Congress and a packed, bribed and bribe-taking Supreme Court. The consequences become more obvious every day, and it has yet to be seen if the fires set can be extinguished.”

ARTIST BIO: Jim Weaver grew up among the tree-lined streets of upstate New York; on the edge of state forests, farmers’ fields, and the region’s wetlands. His interest in nature and the outdoors led to a career in environmental restoration. Along the way, he began tooling leather with the goal of producing fine craftwork. Lately he has developed techniques to use tooled leather in printmaking, bringing a unique set of marks to paper.
