River Otter

"I am fortunate enough to see otters like this proud fellow almost daily, scouting along the edge
of the cliff at the water’s edge in front of our island home, pausing now and then to sniff the air
with all the confidence of the lord of the estate.One of the reasons that I enjoy original printmaking
is the broad range of tone and texture the process allows. I am often reminded of the old masters,
particularly the rich and luminous etchings of Rembrandt. The big, dark shape slicing across
River Otter echoes the abrupt movement of otters themselves - a kind of a sleek and
rhythmic whip crack." - Robert Bateman

"The process of original printmaking apeals to me because it is a human process; it involves
no complex optical equipment other than my own eyes. I believe that technology often separates
us from nature, and I like the idea that my original prints are made by hand."
