The drawing of Savary Island Beach, B&W, was influenced by techniques used in a time before mass produced printing, when artists carved images on wood, rolled ink on top and pressed the image onto paper. They became astonishingly skilled at depicting the world using cross-hatched lines to convey light, shade, form and texture. Later printmakers used this technique to create line drawings of incredible detail etched into metal plates. Many artists keep this time-honoured and highly-skilled tradition alive and I have studied both the early and more modern practitioners to develop my own style.

I have moved to a semi-rural area on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where deer graze in my front yard and Savary Island Beach, B&W gives a sense of the ruggedly serene beaches on the West Coast. I am producing prints such as Savary Island Beach, B&W using durable outdoor printing inks on wood as they can be framed without glass or matting. So they create unique but affordable artworks that are easy and inexpensive to ship. Each one is unique and I really like the somewhat folksy but sophisticated results. For more on the inspiration behind this print & others in the series, please visit my January 2024 blog.
