Joel’s Work

Limited Edition Screen Prints

I have been a fine arts screen printer for over 20 years and have a portfolio of over 125 prints. I love the screen print process…it is slow, contemplative, and as the final vibrant colors are squeeged and the print comes to life, very exciting.

My work reflects living on the shores of Lake Superior as well as the places I’ve been.

I learned the basics of screen printing, sometimes called serigraphs, at a workshop in 1989, but as is the case with most screen printers, I am largely self taught. My prints are not derived from any other medium. They are conceived and printed as screen prints from start to finish. They are hand pulled, short run, limited editions. All prints are originals and slightly different from one another. The collaborative gallery on this web site represents about half of my portfolio. If interested in purchase information of art please contact us.

All Summer 2009. If you are visiting the northland stop by the Lake Avenue Cafe in Canal Park, Duluth Minnesota for this solo engagement.
