Wood Engraving/Paintings by Rosemary Feit Covey

A friend of mine who is a collector told me today that he and his wife recently purchased a new print for their home.  They called it a "woodcut painting". As a printmaker I was intrigued by this description and wanted to learn more. I was so impressed with what I learned about Rosemary Feit Covey, I wanted to share it with the BWAC community.

My friends bought a print from Covey very much like the one above.
