John Furches

North Carolina artist, John Furches, brings us captivating etchings of birds, dragonflies, ferns and more. An avid birder and naturalist, his faithful renderings contain a subtle emotional element that is all his own.  John first makes a detailed drawing that is then etched onto a metal plate.  Once printed onto paper using a traditional press, he then goes back and paints in the watercolor.  Each piece is mounted on an acid-free beveled mat and displayed in a richly grained burl wood frame.  Because every print in an edition of etchings is individually hand crafted, each is considered an original.
