Philip Carrico

Artist Bio & Description: Printmaking has been a passion of mine for many years. I starts with a sketch, filling in with colored pencils and listing the colors from lightest to darkest. The drawing is then transferred to a block of wood.  I determine how many of any one image I will make as once the work is completed, the block is destroyed and no more of that image can be constructed. It is a tedious process of carving where you want color to stay and then printing your next color, layers and layers of color sometimes involving as many as 20 colors. I taught art in Fairbanks Alaska for over 20 years, receiving his Masters of Fine Art in Printmaking from the University there and now bringing my talents to Port Townsend. My love of nature, wildlife and landscapes incapsulates most of my works.  I also does wood engravings which are done on the end blocks of maple with an abundant amount of intricate line designs.

Studio Address: 718 Washington Street, Port Townsend, Wa, 98368 (Ste E - lower level of the Bishop Hotel)
