Carol Till, a full-time artist residing in Colorado’s Front Range, specializes in making contemporary intaglio prints. Because an etching plate may be printed many times, the image etched into the plate can be replicated in endless ways. Rather than making an edition of many identical prints, Carol likes to make unique prints using different colored ink, papers and printing techniques. She often incorporates textured and colored papers into her prints using the chine collé process. Often the prints lend themselves to hand coloring with watercolors. The appeal of printmaking for Carol is that it involves two creative aspects — image creation and printing techniques. With nature as a theme, many of her images relate to each other. Carol likes to combine several plates of detailed natural subjects to suggest a habitat or landscape. Her goal is to make visual connections that are subtle, unexpected and present a fresh view of the natural world.
