Youngblood worked at Flatbed in 2016 to create her "Stormy Seas" etching series. The four stunning color images relate to stages of life and life challenges. Youngblood is known for using weather symbols and weather map iconography in her paintings and prints. In the etching series, she combines these images with beautifully etched seascapes.

“My work explores the passing of time and the tension between the human longing for repetition and – at the same time -- change. I am particularly interested in our human ability to see what we expect to see, to misinterpret, to see a partial picture as the whole, and/or to overlook the significant. “ Judy Youngblood
