Graphics & Printmaking

“I was born an artist,” says Kent Ambler. “My earliest memories are of drawing. I was sort of on auto pilot in my teenage years...it was just expected that I would go to art school.”

His style is loose and folksy. “I am a painter and printmaker, primarily making woodcuts and acrylic paintings,” Kent explains. “I hand carve wood planks which are then inked (one plank for each color) and printed onto archival paper. I carve all the blocks with hand tools and mix all the inks. I print an edition of twenty or thirty and then destroy the blocks.

“I tend to work from everyday life. I think my work is best when I don't overthink ideas and work from an intuitive approach.”
