Scratchboard Art by Lynn Kibbe
"I am a juried artist of the PA Wilds program"
Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. -Nathaniel Hawthorne
What is Scratchboard Art?
I use professional grade Ampersand Museum Scratchbord Panels which are acid-free and archival. They are tested to last at least 200 years and are made with premium 1/8” hardboard for a warp-resistant panel with patented coatings, and will not tear, crack, or bend. Scratchboard has a smooth, absorbent kaolin clay ground that is evenly coated with India ink. They are then scratched by means of a variety of tools resulting in controlled, crisp, clean lines to create exquisitely detailed white-on-black art. Application of colored ink after scratching can yield an image that appears remarkably lifelike. The finished artwork is sealed with spray fixative and can be framed with (matted) or without glass.
I regularly donate portions of certain sales to worthy individual recipients or animal organizations (most noteably our local SPCA and Appalachian Horse Rescue).

***I am a "juried artisan" through the PA Wilds Artisan Initiative. The project aims to raise the visibility and profitability of the region’s artisans and arts-related businesses in two main ways: by branding high-quality, locally-made artisan products with the “Proudly Made in the Pennsylvania Wilds” brand so these products can command a higher price; and helping get more of these items to market by establishing an Artisan Trail and an online presence for the program so artisans can more easily market their products to residents, visitors, design professionals and the like.*** http://www.pawildsresources.org/about-us
