The Peaceful Forest 2

Born in Holyoke, MA., and raised in Catskill, N.Y., Printmaker William Mitchell moved to NH in 1983 and began creating silkscreens of the NH landscape.When Mitchell depicts a NH mountain, forest or river, the resulting image is both familiar and brand new. Mitchell’s brightly colored prints portray places of special beauty and meaning to him.�The scenic beauty of New Hampshire amazes me. How the rolling of a blue sky touches our rolling mountains to create a vibrant world. The intimate forest scenes, rushing streams and color everywhere are what inspire me. I hope that people take an appreciation and an interest in the preservation of our natural world from my art. I hope people are also able to explore their feelings about nature through my work.�Mitchell, a high school art teacher, lives in Dover, NH with his wife Mary.
