Marian Wachter is a Seattle-based printmaker working in several print mediums. She is also an avid hiker of the backcountry trails in Washington. These two passions come together in a recent series of prints depicting rare wildflowers in the state. These beautiful plants, including Wenatchee Mountains Checker-mallow and Quinault Fawn Lily, are rendered in woodcut and other forms of printmaking. The prints are richly layered, passing through an etching press numerous times, resulting in the vibrant colors which are a hallmark of these prints.

Marian’s work has often included common plants in her work, too. Some of these prints will be on display as well.
