“Like fire, this series of prints has an energetic component. After the plate is etched, I print images using Akua Inks, which are also environmentally friendly. After the exposure, the plate is then ‘washed out’ thoroughly with water and again exposed to UV light to harden the plate. When the image is complete and the plate is ready to be etched, it is exposed to the sun or a UV light for a short period of time. Solar plate etching is a printmaking process that uses UV light, rather than toxic acid, to etch the plates. “It turns a caustic process that uses unhealthy chemicals into a safe, non-toxic medium. “Solar plate etching takes a 15th century art form, intaglio printing, and brings it into the 21st century,” said Ehrlich. “I am passionate about using alternative sources of energy and find wind turbines an exciting technology.” Fire I also enjoy using blown roundels, fused glass, enameled glass, bevels and faceted jewels to mimic the play of light off objects and particles in the wind. “My designs interpret the multiple layers of horizon to be the force of the air and the colors to create movement and intensity. “Growing up in a rural part of Douglas County, I spent many hours walking the prairie felling energized by its powerful flow. “In the last few years I have found inspiration in the wind,” said Wagner. “The Plants with Pants series is my way of exploring my relationship with nature, paying homage to the power of nature and connecting to the natural world around me.” Wind I am fascinated by the earth, growing things, and animals but yet feel disconnected from that natural world in my daily life.

I hope that you will find tranquility and healing through these images.” Earth “Water can represent many things, including life, intelligence, wisdom, power, softness and pliancy.
I invite the viewer to look at my photographs and experience the different shapes, colors and sensations contained in a single drop of water. I attempt to capture the essence of water in a dewdrop, a tear or in condensation. “Life, like water, is fluid and can change quickly,” said Guthrie. Sabatini Gallery Jan 18 – March 10, 2019. The 4 Elements will be on display in the Alice C. This artwork strives to evoke thought, conversation and action related to environmental topics. Each artist’s work represents one of the four elements and uses a different medium. The theme of the four elements (water, earth, wind and fire) is used to unify the work of four artists who explore the topic of the environment and our relationship to the natural world.
