Richard Shorty was born in 1959 into the Northern Tutchone First Nation. A self taught artist, Richard's unique style has a heavy influence of both traditional and contemporary design
Silkscreen printing, or simply "screen printing" refers to a printing process where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto the paper. The image is broken up into simple areas of colour which are put down one at a time by running a squeegee over the mesh, with all other areas blocked out with blocking stencil. This process works well for creating high contrasting and simplistic designs.
