Janice Schupak Frishkopf, fine artist, renders nature motifs in colored pencil and ink on paper, breaking them down into blocks of solid color, and enhancing the forms with black outline. Some pieces employ additional fine black lines for texture and detail. Her graphic style lends itself to print reproduction for cards and posters.
