It’s none other than pen and ink artist Kirk Neiberger, who calls himself the Inkist. He creates drawings from photos, most of which he takes himself. He particularly loves to interpret local structures and scenes but his pen travels to far-flung places as well. Neiberger’s work is characterized by an attention to detail, as shown by how he depicts the bark on trees or the weathered wood on old buildings. While many of his images are entirely black and white, others are enhanced with bits or splashes of watercolor.
He releases limited-edition, high quality Giclée prints of his original drawings which he personally hand-titles and numbers.
The artist will be featured at Sutter Creek Gallery, located at 40 Main Street, Sutter Creek, during the months of January and February, with an opening reception on Saturday, January 6, from 2 to 5 p.m. Phone 209-267-0228 for information.
