David Connor Linocuts
Cape Elizabeth, Maine
David Connor has been creating original linocuts for about four years. His inspiration comes from the things around him that he holds dear such as the Portland waterfront and the ocean.
“I’m a Maine native and grew up in Cape Elizabeth. When I’m not creating art, I teach it, along with shop classes, at a charter high school in Portland. I am a husband of almost twenty years, and a father to two teenagers. I raise chickens and ducks, I’m a keeper of bees and an avid gardener. I’ve also been a year-round surfer for the last 25 years and it is a big part of my life and focus of my art.
Most of my work are 6×6 inch blocks matted in a 10×10 inch mat. I make all of my own frames out of reclaimed hardwood that I scavenge from wherever I can find it. I have done original prints for rock bands and beer makers, surf shops and film festivals. My work has been shown in a variety of Greater Portland restaurants and stores and can be found at a gallery on Commercial street called Casco Bay Artisans”.
