5-14-08 nickwprint1.jpgWe first saw artist Nick Wroblewski's work at both the Sausalito and Mill Valley art festivals last fall. We were immediately drawn to his booth because we love woodcuts, but we stayed because his prints are just really beautiful.

We have a soft spot for printmaking as we feel that any effort to make quality artwork available to people who appreciate it (but maybe can't afford an original) is good by us. 5-14-08 nickwprint4.jpgBut woodcuts in particular always interest us for their strong lines and graphic style. Nick's work is mainly inspired by nature, but some of his recent prints suggest he's going in a bit of a more abstract direction - we like it.
