Artist's Magazine Celebrates 40th Anniversary 2024

Artist's Magazine is celebrating their 40th anniversary this year. I have been writing for them during the last 10 of those years. It is one of the few publications that still puts out a high quality print on paper edition 6 times a year. This is one of my recent articles on indigenous artists whose work is finally getting the attention that they deserve. It was also published here in digital format.
