In
the four years we have been publishing Somerset Studio, we have
never received as many samples of artwork for one issue as the Asian
Arts theme solicited last year. Thrilled as we were with the quantity
of submissions received, we were simply overwhelmed by the quality of
the artwork shared with us. We are humbled and thankful that so many
of our readers have chosen this magazine to consider their work for
publication. For the Expressions pages of the Asian Arts issue,
we were faced with the incredible challenge of choosing less than 100
pieces of art from an outpouring of nearly 1,800 outstanding samples.
It was a difficult, heartbreaking process–but there's good news!
We're pleased to announce the publication of Return to Asia,
a special edition of Somerset Studio featuring more than 1,000
samples of beautiful Asian-inspired artwork. Return to Asia includes
nearly 200 pages of exotic artwork in the Somerset Studio tradition,
and no advertising! Like our Gallery™ publication, Return
to Asia is not included in our readers' regular subscriptions. Be
sure to order copies of this special edition.
Sincerely,
Kellene Giloff, Publisher
