Evan Lindquist creates original prints in his private studio in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He taught art, printmaking and drawing at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro for forty years and retired from ASU in 2003.
Most of Lindquist's prints are engravings, developed from his own original ideas and designs. Using a traditional engraver's burin, he engraves his ideas onto copper plates. He prints the plates in the traditional process of intaglio printing.
