Few artists have been as deeply attuned as Edith Freeman to the austere beauty of Eastern Montana. Mastering reduction block woodcut printing, a challenging technique by which multiple, colored prints are achieved using a single block of wood, she based her strong compositions on study of the prairie and rimrocks, the river valleys and wildflower meadows, her backyard garden and household plants.
