I use drawing and traditional printmaking
techniques like etching, aquatint and lithography, as well
as newer methods like solarplate intaglio to create impressions
of the natural world. I am in constant awe of both the beauty
and the harshness of nature, and believe that man can and
should look to nature for the true compass of life.
The natural world can seem remote to many
people in today’s busy world. I try to make it more
accessible and to point out the profoundness of nature;
the austere beauty, elegance and dignity found uniquely
in the forests and fields. I take cues from seeing the quiet
beauty of a pasture in the morning light or a cool trail
into the woods; the delicate shimmer of light through leaves,
the earthy smell of moss and rotting wood, the natural grace
of reaching branches or twisting vines. These are the things
that remind me of who I am.

"Among [the artists]
is Sally Frank, who created a dense, enticing image
of a gray winter forest using a solarplate intaglio
print process, in which an image is transferred to
a printing plate using sunlight or an artificial light
source. The print has a rare luminosity and richness
of tone."
