"George Raab (born 1948) is a Canadian printmaker who has gained an international reputation for his wilderness landscape photo-based etchings and aquatints. Raab spent his early years in Toronto and discovered printmaking as a student at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario. After graduating in 1971 with a diploma in fine arts, he enrolled in the University of Toronto as an extension student to study in the printmaking studio. He also studied etching at Erindale College, Streetsville, Ontario. By 1978, he was living a few miles north of Bancroft, Ontario. There he set up a studio and by May 1978 held his first solo show at the Downstairs Gallery, Bancroft. He moved to Lakefield, Ontario, in 1980 to be nearer Trent University at Peterborough and became artist-in-residence in 1981, at Trent University's Otonabee College. His work is included in more than 100 public, private, and corporate collections, including the Art Gallery of Ontario. His intaglio images are made by creating grooves and textures below the surface of zinc or copper plates. The techniques he uses most frequently are etching, aquatinting, photo-etching, and watercolour painting. His inspiration and subject matter is from the natural areas around Millbrook, Ontario and the Kawarthas." (Source: Wikipedia)
