Linoleum Block Monoprint
About Gene Jaress I have been a working artist over the past 50 years. I am currently working on woodblock prints, a couple of paintings, and have half a dozen other projects in mind. The light and atmospheric conditions created by the Salish Sea, Skagit Valley and Mount Cultus looming to the east influence my current two dimensional work. My background in sculpture also informs that work as I think in three dimensions when I am composing art, whatever form it will take. The other essential dimension is meticulous craftsmanship from beginning to end. "Without craftsmanship inspiration is a mere reed shaken in the wind". Johannes Brahms |

Woodblock Print 2019
Woodblock Prints
I just finished this one. I carved 10 plates for this print. There will be a limited edition run of 15 prints. It is the first in a series of Skagit woodblock prints. It is juried in to the Arts Alive at the Lux show in La Conner. Break in the Storm I donated this painting to United General Hospital in Sedro-Woolley. It will be hung in the main hallway of the hospital. Also, another painting from the Cloud series - Phoenix - can be seen at the chapel at United General. |
