SHERRIE YORK is a self-taught American fine art printmaker specialising in reduction linocut prints celebrating the natural world: landscapes, seascapes and wildlife, especially birds.  She  has recently relocated to Maine from her native Colorado. Curiosity and long walks across landscapes have brought her into contact with scientists, biologists, wildlife artists and bird enthusiasts who taught her to pay close attention to the interaction of living things - she is especially interested in rhythms and patterns between subject and environment.  Her linocut prints are usually created using the reduction method, often with up to 12 different colour prints to create a single image.   In addition to her fine art pursuits she also works as a designer and illustrator for a wide variety of clients.

You never fail with your choice of artists Jenny! Another stunner, and I agree with Dixie about the 7th down, the water is just wonderful.

Breathtakingly good art.  It's so crisp and clear.  Some great info on her website.  She explains very clearly the process of reduction printing.  Another very fine find.

Absent for a week or so (heat stroke - not a lot of fun) so missed these fine pictures until today.  They're remarkable.

As they say and now for something very different, my choice of artist this week is a book illustrator who produced mst of his work in the later half of the eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds.  Some is a macabre and dark but it was the fashion of the time and the books he illustrated. Edmund Joseph Sullivan 1869-1933, usually known as EJ Sullivan was a British book illustrator who worked in a style that merged British traditions in illustration from the 1860s with Art Nouveau. Sullivan decided to concentrate on the emerging field of graphic design and book illustration which was flourishing at the end of the nineteenth century.  He worked for the Daily Graphic from the age of nineteen moving to the Pall Mall Magazine in 1893.  During this period he produced standard news and portrait illustrations but began work illustrations to literature at the Magazine. He soon graduated to the more prestigious role of book illustrator, producing illustrations for editions of Levengo, and the plays School for Scoundrels and Rivals.  He served as Master of the Art Workers Guild in 1931 and taught illustration at Goldsmiths School of Art. He illustrated some  thirty plus books and contributed regularly to eighteen magazines, papers and periodicals etc   I found it difficult to find any artwork that wasn’t on the dark side , most are illustrations for ghost type stories and horror stories that  became very popular in the late Victorian period.
