Extract from"The Woodcuts of Andrea Rich",

Many Names Press, 1997:
"Through her woodcuts Andrea exquisitely portrays the meeting of the senses and the circle of place where wild things live. Her message carries celebration and warning in her carefully composed settings for her animals, who are both beloved and endangered.”
-- Katherine L. Hitt, publisher, Corralitos, California

Since 1980, internationally recognized woodcut printmaker and artist Andrea Rich has traveled the world observing wildlife in their natural habitat. Madagascar, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Africa and Europe are some of the places outside North America that she has visited in search of interesting subjects. She then designs her drawing based upon personal observations in the field, carves and hand-pulls prints in her studio in Santa Cruz California.

A typical print requires ten to twenty blocks. Working in the studio full time, a print could take two or three weeks to design and carve the blocks, and another two weeks to press as many as 20 colors on each print. Editions of her work generally number 30 or less.
