A printmaker for more than 50 years, Sally Frank draws inspiration from close observations of the natural world and a deep sense of connection with the earth. She uses printmaking techniques including etchings, woodcuts, monotypes and lithographs, and alternative photography methods; cyanotypes and anthrotypes.
