Note from Artist:
Who doesn't love an Aspen forest full of Fall color? Add in a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers and you have this beautiful memory made into a reduction relief linocut, "Fall Visitors". The mingled perfume of sagebrush and creosote still clung to me as I entered the isolated grove of Aspens, late holdouts in full Autumn color in a hidden crook of the mountains. The backlit canopy was aglow, shimmering and dancing above my head. The leaves added their susurration to the quiet melody of an unseen creek and the sharp calls and occasional drumming of a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers high up in that glorious mosaic of leaves. I laid under the soft flickering light, my eyes following my fellow Fall visitors as they flew from tree to tree, seemingly as enchanted as I was, hoping to hold on to that moment forever.

About shipping

Fall Visitors

$900.00

“As an artist who deeply appreciates detail, I always strive for simplicity. I find that I often land somewhere in between, hopefully capturing the essence of the scene, flower, or creature at the heart of the work. I enjoy drilling down into my subjects and learning from each experience, and my goal is to pass on that same sense of discovery and wonder through every piece I create.”
