For 45 years Annie Cicale has worked as a visual artist, producing a large volume of work. This book is a collection of some of that work, with background information on historical figures who have influenced her, as well as many contemporary artists. Her media has included drawing and painting, as well as printmaking and artist's books. She has focused on the lettering arts, doing professional calligraphy and she has incorporated texts in much of her work. The imagery ranges from abstraction to portraits and botanical illustration. The book could be called an Art-O-Biography, as she includes details from her life which have influenced her work. Her first lettering book, The Art & Craft of Hand Lettering, is now in its fifth printing. This new book is not a sequel; it's more of a companion that show sthe wide range of possibilities she has worked with over many years.
