Printmaker Mary D. Ott’s latest solo exhibition at Touchstone Gallery features more than 30 monotypes and intaglios celebrating the beauty of grasses, trees, and leaves. 

The intaglios include both drypoints and etchings. Some of the etchings are monochromatic, while others such as Sweet Gum Leaves I (pictured) are multicolored. Her Blue Bouquet Series of monotypes was created using inked ornamental grasses as stencils. "My work is inspired by the design of ornamental grasses, the stately structure of trees, and the variations in color and subtle details of leaves” says Ott.
