Nature Spirits: Intaglio Prints And Mixed Media

By Joanne Ehrich

The artist's visual expressions featured in NATURE SPIRITS: INTAGLIOS AND MIXED MEDA were designed to showcase the beauty noticed all around us if we tune in with greater awareness. By recognizing the inherent value of "nurture" within nature, we give ourselves permission to acknowledge a more authentic self that then be able to connect with our greater purpose. The nature etching catalogue raisonn? was rounded out by accompanying quotes by famous nature lovers uniquely befitting of each image. Inspirations come from authors of all walks of life, such as the likes of John Muir, Walt Whitman, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Frank Lloyd Wright.NATURE SPIRITS was originally a printmaking portfolio showcasing Ehrich's intaglio etchings of animals and landscapes. Over time, as a distinct theme evolved, the collection of animal and nature artwork segued into different media from mezzotints and aquatints, to oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings, drawings, monotype prints and computer vector art. In keeping with the intaglio look-and-feel, all colored images were converted to grayscale for a seamless presentation that can either be enjoyed in the book, as limited edition etchings, or as framed gicl?e art prints.
