But in the early 1970s,it was discovered that stocking hatchery\u003cbr\u003etrout actually suppressed and damaged wild trout populations. Conservation efforts\u003cbr\u003echanged their strategy to habitat restoration. Fighting the creation of dams, instream\u003cbr\u003eflow laws and catch and release programs led to more thriving populations.\u003cbr\u003eThe artwork was inspired by and incorporates the original vintage postal stamp. The\u003cbr\u003eimage started with a photo transfer to art paper. I used gouache paints, gel and ink\u003cbr\u003epens, printed patterns, found objects and and postal stamp photo transfers to create\u003cbr\u003ethe finished collage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.5\"x 6.5\" artwork, 8\"x 10\" matte\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e50% of the proceeds from this piece will be donated to Friends of the Eel River to support their conservation efforts.
