Vashon Island

Join us on Vashon Island's First Friday Art Gallery Cruise, March 6th 5:00-7:00 PM.

Annette Messitt founded The Old Dockton Press, which is located in Dockton—a small neighborhood on Maury Island known for its thriving community of artists. After many years as a plein air watercolorist, Annette began printmaking in 2018, and it has since become her primary medium. She focuses her work on the beauty of everyday objects and the remarkable wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. Annette works primarily in the reductive, or "su***de," method of linocut — a process in which a finite number of colors are overprinted from a single piece of linoleum, with more of the surface cut away before each successive color is applied. By the end of the process, the linoleum is almost entirely cut away, making additional prints impossible. The result is a richly colored, limited-edition print. Annette is currently a member of Quartermaster Press, a Vashon Island printmaking collective, and Swiftwater Gallery. She also enjoys teaching printmaking classes.

First Friday, March 6th 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Open daily 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
