Born in October 1936 in Quimper into a family of architects, Mikel Chaussepied began his artistic studies between 1955 and 1958 at School of Fine Arts and Applied Arts of Cornouaille, which was later succeeded by the current European School of Art of Brittany. He continued his studies at the Regional School of Fine Arts in Rennes, presenting as his "regional culture thesis" a study in twenty lithographs of a canning factory in Kérity-Penmarc’h, and obtained his national diploma in Paris in 1960.
He began exhibiting as a painter in 1963 in Quimper. This first exhibition was followed by many others, both solo and group shows, in Nantes, Brest, Lorient, Rennes, and Paris. Having learned intaglio under Roland Sénéca in 1972, he soon began to exhibit engravings. In 1981, Soïchi Hasegawa invited him to exhibit at the Salon of Young Contemporary Engraving in Paris.
Apart from his lithographs created at the École des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and, more recently, ventures into relief etching, Mikel Chaussepied is primarily an intaglio printmaker who practices and combines etching, aquatint, and drypoint. His work is not exclusively Breton: it also reflects the curiosity of this traveling artist for Ireland (The Slea Head Wreck, Ireland), the English Cornwall (Boscastle, Cornwall), Australia (The Lightning-Struck Tree; The Swans of the Coorong), Patagonia (On the Patagonian Canals), Canada, the Seychelles (The Villa of the Seychelles)... Finistère, however, remains the most frequent setting, and within this department, a few favorite locations: the island of Molène, the Elorn River, as seen from his window in Le Relecq-Kerhuon, or the Cap Sizun, etc.
A figurative artist, attentive to landscapes both natural and shaped by humans, Mikel is a distant heir of the 'view artists' who roamed the French departments in the first half of the 19th century to record their various aspects during "picturesque and romantic journeys." He shares their fascination – also that of Henri Rivière – for the geological wonders of the Crozon Peninsula or the Cape. He is their successor and updates their perspective, for example when he engraves a particular aspect of Brest following its reconstruction.

Description:
Zebra II is an etching with some hand coloring by Nancy Charles. Nancy grew up in Miami, Florida, spending a lot of time in the Everglades and near the ocean. Her strong love for animals and the outdoors can be traced back to those early years and continues to be a guiding force in her life today. Nancy's interest in art came from her father, Clayton Charles, who was the chairman of the art department at the University of Miami. Nancy grew up in an art-rich environment, sitting in on her father’s classes and working with him in his studio.
In 1981 Nancy and her two children moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where she currently resides. For several years she worked almost exclusively in colored pencil and exhibited her work both regionally and nationally. In 1995 Nancy began to work in etchings and found that the line work she uses in her colored pencil pieces translated easily into the etching medium. She now divides her time between colored pencil work, developing new etchings plates, teaching colored pencil classes and working on illustrations for children's books.

Description:
Spring Creek - Brookie etching by Dave Chapple A bout withrheumatic fever meant that ten year old Dave Chapple was confined to bed formany months. During this time he dreamed of the days he'd spent in the Sierrasand studied many bird books. He had already won several school sponsored artcontests and decided to use the time to develop his natural artistic talent.The books and his pencil were his constant companions. Like mostyoung boys, Chapple dreamed of participating again in sports but was notpermitted to exercise strenuously because of the illness. Eventually, itoccurred to him that kickers did little running, and he saw that as thesolution to his problem. As indrawing, Chapple found that 'practice makes perfect' in punting. After anappearance in the Sugar Bowl as a college senior, he was drafted by the San Francisco 49rs. Later,he was acquired by the Los Angeles Rams, and in 1972, as an All-Pro Punter, ledthe league in punting and set an NFL record for the longest punt. During theoff season, Chapple pursued his interest in the wild by studying taxidermy. Hehas first- hand knowledge of bird anatomy that few can claim. And today heholds state collecting permits as he continues to gather specimens for theSanta Barbara Natural History Museum. His love forfine line work and growing demand for his work led Chapple to explore etchingas a medium. Beginning with single-plate, one color etchings, he eventuallydeveloped muiti-color pieces. Now he has the freedom to combine the single andmulti-plate image with hand-tinting to achieve the same delicate style that isapparent in his painting. A punter who retired at the height of his career,Chapple made a conscious decision to pursue art with all the dedication andsingle-mindedness that football had taught him. Today he feels that the twocareers demanded many of the same personal characteristics. "Both demandunusual self-discipline and self-confidence. Painting, like punting, meansendless hours of solitude - working alone with perfection as the ultimategoal." Although it is certain that he will continue to develop as anartist, one glance is enough to tell that he has indeed reached his goal. Chapple, wholives with his wife Nanci and their two children in Orange County , California ,has been extremely active with Ducks Unlimited for several years and donateswork annually for fund raising purposes. A three-time finalist in the California duck stampcontest, Chapple has accepted invitations to exhibit at the prestigious LeighYawkey Woodson Bird Art Show in Wausau , Wisconsin and at the EastonWaterfowl Festival in Maryland .He is recognized internationally as a fine, established wildlife artist, andhis work is in continuing demand by private collectors, sportsmen, galleriesand corporations alike.
