I love Glen Helen and decided to make some fan art. The Glen is an amazing space that always fills up my cup and quenches my thirst, literally. I have walked my dogs, past and present, on those paths, had long chats with those I love, and ran breathlessly through glorious trees. When I lived there, I enjoyed going everyday to watch the subtle changes in the seasons and the woods it’s self. If you haven’t been, GO!
This print is made with three shades of green and a variety of antique wood type from Tribune Showprint. I carefully selected and set the type that best represented the various locations in the park. These prints will be available at Urban Handmade in Yellow Springs but you can also purchase them here.
From their website - “The Glen is the largest private nature preserve in the Miami Valley, anchoring the most scenic, most ecologically intact area in Southwest Ohio. During a short walk visitors can view spectacular wildflowers, 400 year-old trees, limestone cliffs with waterfalls and overhangs, and the beautiful yellow spring for which the town is named. Visitors are also encouraged to check out our Raptor Center, where we rehabilitate over 200 birds of prey per year and house ~20 non-releasable birds in outdoor enclosures viewable by a path around the building. The Glen also runs various nature themed programming all throughout the year.”
