These cards are pages from a sketchbook I kept during a artist’s residency at the Ragdale Foundation in October 2009. I spent hours walking on the prairie, drawing the plants, animals and landscape. I am very grateful to the Ragdale Foundation staff for all their generous support while I was a resident there.
The card codes are, from left to right, RD 01, RD 02, RD 03, RD 04 and RD 05.
All cards are folded, 5″x7″, enclosed in a clear plastic sleeve, and printed on an Epson Stylus Photo R2400 inkjet printer. They retail for $5.00 each.

About Julie Wagner
I was born in Wisconsin, and grew up on the east coast, wandering the woods, collecting leaves, bones, and bugs. After earning a BA from Oberlin College, studying sculpture at the Brooklyn Museum School, and receiving an MFA in sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design, I moved to a rural town in northern New Mexico where I live with my blacksmith husband, and a long series of dogs and cats. My work is based on the natural environment where I live, maps, scientific diagrams and microscopic images. My work is in public and private collections throughout the United States and Europe.
