D.W. Kellogg // A Map of the Open Country of a Woman's Heart
Daniel Wright Kellogg, known as D. W. Kellogg, was the principal partner in the Hartford, Connecticut-based lithography firm D. W. Kellogg & Company from about 1830 to 1842. The Kellogg brothers published and sold the second largest number of decorative prints intended for the American public. These lithographs, most of which were hand-colored, were colorful, affordable and covered many subjects: portraits, historical events, scenes of daily life, views, religious themes, politics, sports, animals, sentimental images. In 1842, two of Kellogg’s brothers succeeded D.W., renaming the company E.B. & E.C. Kellogg.

Laura Plageman // Response to Print of Kudzu, Texas
Laura Plageman is an artist and educator who lives and works in Oakland, CA. Her images explore the relationships between the process of image making, photographic truth and distortion, and the representation of landscape. She is interested in making pictures that examine the natural world as a scene of mystery, beauty and constant change—transformed both by human presence and by its own design. Plageman has exhibited her work in San Francisco, New York, Portland and Galway, Ireland. She earned a BA at Wesleyan University (Middletown, CT) and an MFA from the California College of the Arts (San Francisco, CA). She was also a First Edition 2011 winner in the Hey Hot Shot! photography competition, another Jen Bekman Project.
