Description: Title: Sweet Magnolia Artist: Barbie Tidwell Photo-offset Lithograph Floral Size: 11" x 14" (Paper), 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Image) Fair Market Value: $65.00 Barbara Tidwell"Barbie is originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Tulsa. She began her artistic endeavors concentrating on oils and watercolors. This gave her a good foundation to develop her own style and sense of color. After college, she decided to go into commercial art, even though she had fallen in love with etching after taking a few etching courses at the university. She hoped that one day she would be able to continue with etchings. She worked for several years as a graphic artist in advertising and sign design. In 1988, she became acquainted with an established printmaker. It didn't take long for her to begin working in the printmaker's studio producing her own etchings. Barbie has since cut several of her own plates and established herself in the art industry as one of the printmaker's in demand. Staring the process with zinc plates, fine Italian paper, and finishing the process with hand coloring each etching, Barbie has been able to satisfy the creative need she has as an artist that was never satisfied with any other medium. Presently, Barbie lives in rural Middle Tennessee fulfilling her dream of becoming a professional artist/printmaker. The art of etching is a very old process. One of the first known etchers was Rembrandt. A zinc or copper plate is used for the artist's design, and acid does the work of etching the design into the metal. After it is completed, the plate is inked, damp paper is placed onto it, and then they are run through a press. The tremendous pressure pushes the paper into the etched lines of the plate picking up the ink onto the damp paper. Each one is hand-pulled, one at a time, therefore each etching will have small differences making each one an original."
