Annalise Gratovich

Art Appreciation

"It's a Gratovich," I whispered to my friend as we were visiting the Elisabet Ney Museum in central Austin. Sure enough, the print is by Austin printmaker Annalise Gratovich.

Gratovich is a well-known and respected printmaking artist knwon for her woodcuts of powerful and symbolic images.

You can view more of her work HERE.
