Rosemary Eagle was born in Australia in 1949. She completed her diploma of fine art at The University of Ballarat in 1988 and proceeded to establish her own home based printmaking studio. Thus began the serious pursuit of developing her work and expertise in this medium. Rosemary's copper plate etchings are usually interpretations of her pen and wash sketches or an idea in her mind. Her edition numbers are small [between 3 and 50], as she prefers to move on to new work rather than spend weeks printing larger editions.

The Horse
The horse features consistently, sometimes impregnated in an ancient landscape. It is used as a positive symbol of endurance, energy and hope and often represents the fragile framework within which the human spirit is housed.

What Is an Original Artist Print?
Confusion often arises concerning exactly what qualifies an original artist print. An original print is conceived by the artist specifically for editioning in a chosen medium-which could be an etching, lithograph, relief print, screen print or other.

The edition is not a reproduction of an existing art object executed in another medium. So called “Fine Art Reproductions” and/or “Prints in Limited Editions” are often photographic copies of pre existing drawings or paintings, and are more suitably described as “reproductions”. The “original” of an original artist print is the block, plate or screen on which the artist has created an image and from which the marks and images are transferred from one surface to another.

Each print in the edition is printed, signed, dated, numbered and titled by Rosemary-approval of technical quality being expressed by affixing the artist’s signature.
