A Bighorn Sheep Ram is the mascot of Colorado State University, in Fort Collins. My husband went to this school and we lived in Fort Collins for many years. Though we have moved out of the city, we have our own little slice of heaven located in the foothills north of Fort Collins. From the hills, I can see the backside of Horsetooth Rock, a craggy rockface making a prominent focal point in the horizon line. I imagine it was a happy place for the bighorn sheep hopping from rock to rock. Part of a mini-print series featuring large mammals of the Rocky Mountain Region.

This piece is a "relief engraving.” It is in the block print or relief family of printmaking, which refers to two surfaces, one lower than the other, so that the highest surface prints. I hand carve each image with small but tough tools called burins, or gravers. The remaining surface is rolled with ink and pressed through the printing press. Each print taken from the plate is part of an edition, and numbered. My limited editions are always under 100 since they are inked and cranked by hand on my printing press. Printed on 100% Cotton Rag Paper.
