Kent's work is printed in signed \u0026amp; numbered limited editions, and the original printing blocks are cut apart after the last print has been made. The image is hand carved into a series of wood panels, a separate panel for every color in the final piece. The ink is applied to each panel individually and printed onto the paper in succession to build the image layer by layer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKent Ambler draws inspiration from his surroundings: his three dogs, two cats, his wife Peggy, the lake, the woods, birds, flowering trees, neighbors goats, the list goes on and on.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ework usually starts with an observation or a quick sketch.
