During my recent visit to Penland I had a photo taken on the front steps of Horner Hall. It was here that my Mountain Dream Tarot deck began in July 1970, so this photo marks the 49th year since that all began.

One of my unique prints from Flamingo in the Dark will be in this show in Philadelphia this fall. Martinique is part of their permanent collection.

It was a great surprise to see my Three of Swords on Springsteen’s guitar used in Springsteen on Broadway.

These iibraries have added my latest book Springs Victory: Kore Comes Back to their special collections. Thanks to the Beinecke at Yale; Herron School of Art in Indianapolis; the universities of Arizona,Central Florida,Illinois.Duke,Brown,Florida Atlantic; and The Eastman Museum.

I have continued to take photographs of surnames on gravestones that function as parts of speech. Using these words I have written several poems and created artists books. My latest project has been to write a version of the myth of Persephone. Mine is called Springs Victory: Kore Comes Back (Kore being an alternate name for Persephone) and I have completed it in two formats. There is an open edition that can be ordered from my store and a limited edition (email bea@beanettles.com to determine current price and availability of the limited edition)

Last week I visited SFMoma to see my Mountain Dream Tarot cards on display in The Good 70′s exhibition curated by Linde Lehtinen

This was recorded while I was visiting San Francisco in August 2017. SFMoma owns a sample pack of my original hand colored photographic machine stitched tarot cards.
