Etching by Justin Ward- edition of 15

Justin Ward grew up in Central California. After graduating from Carmel High School in 1979, he attended art school at California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland and received a graphic design degree. While at CCAC he taught himself the art of etching by using the printmaking studio facilities at nights and weekends. He has been a working professional art director for over 20 years but never lost his initial love for printmaking.

Although heavily influenced by Whistler and by local Monterey artist/etcher Armin Hansen, Justin has a unique style that combines years of studying the old masters and his own fresh approach to printmaking.
