Michigan born, Sara Gwendolyn Frostic (1906-2001), was one of America’s foremost nature inspired artists. One of nine children, Gwen was stricken with polio at an early age. Gwen not only survived, she overcame the doctor’s prognosis that she wold never walk, talk, or write again.As a single woman in her fifties, Gwen moved to the northern woods of Michigan to observe, study, research, and sketch her native woods in all their wondrous detail. Carefully carving the designs of nature into linoleum blocks. Gwen then used Heidleberg letter presses to bring her images alive on stationery.Gwen not only became a very successful entrepreneur, but an accomplished artist, poet, educator, and philosopher. Known for her simple lines and delicate colors, this inspiring artist continued to produce new work well into her nineties. Now her serene, meditative renderings of trees, flowers, and wildlife have been captured in beautiful products. Because education played such an importance in Gen’s childhood, Gwen’s final request was to leave 13 million dollars to Western Michigan University for student’s continuing education. Her legacy continues… beyond time.“My aim is to bring you the wind in the trees or the very first violet of spring, a bit of serenity that exists in this world. I hope after reading or hearing the news at the ned of the day you may feel that loveliness is still of this world. Man, must live with nature and cannot separate himself from it… he is an integral part of the whole”
