Clifton Karhu is the artist my teacher studied with. He worked in Kyoto, and
I've seen some of his prints, images of Japan.

Does anyone know anything else?

April,

I have a great book of his work called "Koyto Rediscovered" and
the work is really magical. See  it here
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/104-3713727-
0966339 This is such fat lined work compared to Dave's prints. I
like them though and think there is far more chance of me doing
these fat lines that ever doing the thin ones! Ha. I really
hesitated to buy this book as it was pretty expensive, but now
that I have it I am glad I got it. Best to all,
Barbara

April,

You can see the influence of Karhu in the work of David Stones,
one of our baren members who lives in Japan and in the same city
as Kahru lived in. David's work is here
http://www.i-chubu.ne.jp/~stones/index_e.html I have a couple of
these pieces as I couldn't stand to send them back after the
baren show we had here in Portland last year. I wanted to get
one, but finally just decided to get all three as I kept changing
my mind about the one I wanted....I have never been sorry! It was
a great investment! It sounds like David is so busy teaching and
traveling he is making fewer prints every year....maybe soon he
will slow down and have time to just cut and print!

I never thought of myself as a collector, but I have amassed an
amazing amount of prints thanks to Baren and just last week a
gallery friend asked if they could show my "collection" some
time. So we printmakers are lucky to be able to make multiples
and so easily get a great collection! Best to all,
Barbara
