Bear + Apple Press
Artist Statement:
Carinne James fell in love with art as a child; she has a grandfather who was a painter, and another owned a print shop. She picked up linocut printmaking over a decade ago while volunteering as an art docent in Seattle. A single class in printmaking set off a love of drawing, carving, inking and burnishing prints.
Carinne draws inspiration from her life – her travels across the country, growing a garden, raising her kids, and the nostalgia of childhood. Her images capture these experiences, from her son blowing on a dandelion to the flora and fauna found in the many places she's lived to anatomical prints inspired by her son's hospital visits. While these images are deeply personal to her, they build on common connections in the human experience.
Carinne only uses the highest quality inks for her prints in order to obtain the best final product possible; she uses eco-friendly and sustainably sourced papers including lokta, mulberry, and kitakata paper.
