Andrea Rich’s intricately designed, carved, and printed woodcuts draw viewers in for an up-close look. “My prints are a visual record of the intriguing creatures that have enriched my life. The woodcut process challenges me to focus on the essence of my subjects. At the same time, I am drawn to the smell of the wood, its texture and grain, and the pleasure I experience while carving. I begin working on a block of wood and realize later that hours have passed without notice.”
Join us for a virtual visit with artist Andrea Rich, currently based in California, and learn about the centuries-old medium in which she works, her distinctive color palette and the inspiration she draws from the wondrous wild subjects she has seen on her worldwide travels.
Among Rich’s many achievements are international recognition for her woodcut prints, including a 2009 Award of Excellence from the Society of Animal Artists and a 2009 Medal of Excellence from the Artists for Conservation Foundation. She was named Master Artist by the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in 2006. In 2010 her work was featured in a solo exhibition at the Mass Audubon Visual Arts Center, Canton, Massachusetts.
In 2000 Rich designated the Woodson Art Museum as the repository for her artistic oeuvre. An Abundance of Riches, on display through May 14, in the Baker Visitor Center, is drawn from these holdings, which include an example of each of her woodcuts created since the mid-1980s. Woodson Curator Amalia Wojciechowski and Arboretum Curator Ashlee Lanier join the artist for this conversation about collections of Riches.
