 Stephen
Huneck is an internationally-acclaimed and
much-collected Vermont artist, sculptor & children’s
book writer and illustrator, whose playful hand-carved
furniture, sculpture and whimsical woodcut prints
celebrate the human-canine bond. A self-taught sculptor
and wood-carver, Stephen loves the texture that
you can only get by hand. He has a collection of tools
consisting of over 150 chisels, 30 hand planes and axes,
carving almost everyday of the year.
When Stephen does
take time off, it is to walk with his Labs, Golden &
Dalmatian. After a near death experience in 1994, Stephen
had a vision to build a Dog Chapel. "A place where
people can go and celebrate the spiritual bond they have
with their dogs," it is now the largest, and most
personal, artwork of his life.

Stephen's original woodcuts
are offered via his Giclée & Woodcut Prints. Giclée is
the foremost method of reproduction available today. The
woodcut
is digitally captured and then reproduced on a
sophisticated printer that offers a greater resolution than
is normally achievable. The ink and paper are archival and will last for 200
years before any fading will occur. Printed on 100%
cotton rag acid-free fine art paper using archival
pigmented based inks, the ultra-fine density of the ink
droplets allow for superior saturation, dynamic color,
and thorough penetration into the surface. Due to this
advancement in printing, many are unable to tell the difference between
the original and the Giclée.
To create a woodcut
print, Stephen first draws the design in crayon, laying
out the prospective shapes and colors. He then takes a
wooden board and carves away all areas that will not be
printed. The result is a series of carved blocks, one
for each color in the print.
After a block has been inked with its respective color,
acid-free, archival paper is laid onto the block and it
is hand-pulled through his press at Dog Mountain. The
finished wood-cut print is a unique piece of original
art, each one slightly different from the rest. Every
one of Stephen's woodcut prints is available as a Giclée print.
Stephen Huneck original prints may be purchased either framed
or unframed, but what could be better than a Huneck print in a Huneck frame? When Stephen was looking for frames for his Woodcuts and
Giclée prints he had a
hard time finding exactly what he wanted. So, being an artist and a woodworker,
he designed his own frames. The frames are made right on Dog Mountain and are
made from indigenous Vermont Maple and Ash, much of which is harvested there.
The frames are assembled, sanded and finished in beautiful Maple or Black
finishes.
Stephen also use archival paper for both the
woodcuts and Giclée prints. They are mounted with double acid free mats and
finished with these beautiful artistic frames. The quality of paper, ink and
mats insure that these prints will be around for a long time.
