The
Friends 2001 Torpedofactory Artist of the Year May 8 - June 23 2002 Artist's Statement Since childhood the desire to take an idea from mind to paper has been my primary passion. Every other life decision has been balanced against that driving need. In 25 years I have completed 304 prints, finding in the dark surface of the block a medium that mirrored my personal vision. During this period of intensive work, I have developed my own unique style, which continues to evolve, fusing modern elements with more traditional aspects of wood engraving. -Rosemary Feit Covey Juror's Statement Covey's prints captured my attention immediately for their technical mastery and powerful visual vocabulary. Her command of technique yields images of unwavering intensity and unflinching honesty. The scope of Covey's subject matter is equally impressive, for it ranges from universal themes to an extremely personal symbolism.
