"Rosemary Feit Covey has taken what
must be the most resistant of media and used it to powerful and unnerving
effect. I usually associate wood engraving with very literal renditions,
but in her expert hands she conveys imaginative, unsettling, and discomforting
visions."
Roberta Waddell
Curator of Prints and Drawings
New York Public Library
"Rosemary Covey is one of the preeminent
wood engravers working today. While she is conspicuously adroit
at handling the tools of her craft, she rarely calls attention to
her technical virtuosity for its own sake. Covey's mastery of this
demanding relief process is wed to her desire to explore traditional
themes with a uniquely personal approach. Whether she is conceiving
of a landscape or portraiture, domestic vignettes or highly charged
mythic imagery, her graphic vocabulary always remains in the service
of revelation of content."
Eric Denker
Curator of Prints and Drawings
Corcoran Gallery of Art
Rosemary Feit Covey was born in Johannesburg,
South Africa. Covey's engravings can be found in major museum and
library collections around the world, including the Corcoran Gallery
of Art, the New York Public Library Print Collection, the National
Museum of American History, Harvard University, the National Library
of Australia, the Papyrus Institute in Cairo Egypt, and many others.
In 1998 she was the recipient of a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship
in Bellagio Italy and in 2004 was invited to spend two months as
the International Artist in Residence at Grand Central in Santa
Ana California. Covey has exhibited her prints in numerous national
and international solo shows, including exhibitions in New York,
Chicago, Washington, DC, Buenos Aires, and Geneva. Covey has lectured
on wood engraving both nationally and internationally. She has illustrated
books for both children and adults.
