In this digital print of a scratchboard drawing, we see a group of mammals running in fear as they confronting the realities of their impact upon the forest.
Kate Samworth develops images from her imagination that combine years of observational drawing practice with the study of 16th and 17th century engravings. Her imagery is inspired by observing wildlife and natural and man-made changes to the environment.
She is an artist, illustrator, and educator in Maryland. Her background in printmaking is evident in her choice of scratchboard, which was developed in the early 19th century to mimic wood engravings. Scratchboard consists of a board coated with fine white clay and coated in black ink. The ink is removed to reveal the white beneath. She draws with an Exacto blade because it allows for minute details and fine lines.
Samworth teaches online at several art schools including the Rhode Island School of Design, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, PA Academy of the Fine Arts, and more. Her course on The Art of Natural History is available through Morbid Anatomy.
