A Sense of Place Fine Art in Fresno generously hosted my Mokuhanga printmaking demo. the audience loved the tools, paper, contemporary and classic examples I have collected over the years and a look into the process. I printed the 8th and last layer on this 3-block relief print using shina plywood, Holbein watercolors, my lovely Japanese carving tools and printed with traditional baren on Shinamine 110gsm paper.

Working primarily in relief and intaglio printmaking, Monique Wales' artwork is largely nature-inspired, particularly by the magnificent mountain areas in and around Yosemite, her home, and throughout the Western United States. She hopes to impart to her audience the importance of wild spaces and shine a light on their increasingly threatened inhabitants. She strives to bring the feelings of peacefulness, serenity and wonder she experiences when witnessing the world outside our walls.
