CRAFTSMEN SPOTLIGHT

Victoria Elbroch has been a juried printmaker since 1982. Her prints compare human life to nature's cycles. She is irresistibly drawn to the symbolism of trees and the resilience they represent. Victoria now incorporates pods and seeds into her work as she continues to explore the aging process, the sharing of family stories and the embracing of time left. She feels fortunate to be in the autumnal, dispersal stage of her life span, surrounded in nature's abundance and with time to wander, appreciate, share and celebrate her bounty.
