Anna Pausch

Printmaker and Environmentalist carving first hand experiences into Woodcut Prints. Through expressionistic carving of the explorations of ecosystems, imagery of respect for the natural world and human experiences emerges. With each landscape hiked, plant identified and pollinators sighted there is a visual language of balance and relationships between species and niches from micro to macro. Through the natural world’s imagery, rules and structures; I visually explore life’s experiences, relationships, and balance act of our inherent human emotions and needs.
