Mark Graver RE is an award-winning artist/printmaker, curator and tutor. He specialises in Acrylic Resist Etching, Digital Printmaking and Video Art.
Born in St.Albans, England in 1964, he moved to Kerikeri, New Zealand in 2003. In 2005 he established the Wharepuke Print Studio, New Zealand’s only dedicated acrylic resist etching workshop. In 2009 he and partner Tania Booth set up Art at Wharepuke, a gallery specialising in international printmaking and in 2015 The Wharepuke Art Park Sculpture Trail.
My artistic practice has centered on printmaking since 1985 with the content and context of my work evolving and developing in tandem with new technical and technological processes and approaches to now include video, digital printmaking and sound work alongside ‘traditional’ handmade works.
