Graham Scholes

Art Brokerage: Graham Scholes Canadian Artist: b. 1933. Graham Scholes, born in 1933 in Toronto has lived in Montreal, Quebec, Barrie, Ontario and, since 1987, in Sidney, British Columbia. He is a known as an artist, an author as well as an art educator. He conducted workshops and seminars across Canada for 16 years, starting in 1977. In 1989 his book "Watercolor and How" was published by Watson Guptill, New York City, for world wide distribution and his work and techniques are featured in another Watson-Guptill book, entitled Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Watercolours. Graham interred the self-publishing field in 2016 writing a autobiography culminating with the latest art form of Mokuhanga, Japanese Woodblock Printmaking which he has focused on for the last 27years. Another book "Let There Be Light" focused on the work he created in the Mokuhanga medium. My mentor is master printmaker Noboru Sawai on woodblock printmaking. In 1993, this new medium inspired me to start a series of innovative prints of the British Columbia lighthouses. He needs to experience and have personal contact with his subjects, so with the co-operation of the Canadian Coast Guard, he has visited all lighthouses on the British Colombia coast in order to get the material necessary to represent these majestic beacons. The series of prints of the manned lighthouses has taken him 15 years to complete and is a critically acclaimed record of some of these manned beacons, that will soon be automated. Listings wanted.
