Artist Statement Over the last forty years, Ann Semprebon has worked in her preferred mediums of watercolor and etching on copper plates. Originally from the Southwest, living in small, suburban tracts, she had little access to the greater natural world. All that changed when she moved to the Upper Valley and bought a house on two acres that bordered undeveloped woodlands. Semprebon became fascinated by the changing seasons and landscape of the Northeast and the variety of plants and wildlife around her. Much of her work has been motivated by her love of nature and growing things. Semprebon has also become aware of the dangers facing the natural world she loves so much and has created work addressing what she calls her “disaster series” of prints and watercolors that have been integrated into the work celebrating the natural world around her, presenting the duality of life as we know it.
