Kenna Boles Prior Original Artwork - 4" x 5" Photogravure - Lightning Bug with Glow

An original artwork by Kenna Boles Prior, a local Cedar Hill artist, and Dogwood Canyon's Artist in Residence 2024. 

Photogravure (in French héliogravure) is a photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is grained (adding a pattern to the plate) and then coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then etched, resulting in a high quality intaglio plate that can reproduce detailed continuous tones of a photograph.

These photogravures are based on original drawings by Kenna that were inspired by nature at Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center.

Numbered and signed by the artist. This is number 5/100. The lightning bug has been treated with a UV-reactive ink. This lightning bug will glow under UV light (black light).

Note that colors may appear different in person due to photographing processes and settings in your viewing device.
