Abstract: Artists have a long tradition of capturing the essence of Nature in their creative works. This year s cover artist, Tallmadge Doyle, uses copper plates to create prints of the complex visual textures found in Nature s scenery. Originating from careful observation, her images then undergo a stylistic evolution toward a personalized artistic vision of Nature s textures.
