Richard Bosman came to Oehme Graphics in January for the first project of 2012. Despite the lack of snow in Steamboat at the time, Richard was still inspired by winter for all of his prints. He created five compelling and beautiful pieces that demonstrate both his thought provoking and subtle style. Furthermore, his prints represent how the printmaking process can profoundly convey meaning in the work. The prints are titled Cabin, Snow Squall, Shout, Winter Deer, and Embers.
