Traditional Art

A 15th century metalsmith could get right to work in Neil R. Hunt's engraving and print-making studio. His decorative jewelry and buckle engravings are inspired by the long history of weapons' ornamentation from Persian swords to European and American shotguns.

Neil has lived and worked in the North-woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin, as well as on the prairies of North Dakota and the high deserts of Arizona. Because of the great patience and discipline required to master these high crafts, Neil is generally reclusive. It was in Sedona, AZ that he changed his artistic discipline from drawing to high craft; sculpting, leatherwork, and silversmithing. Silversmithing led to learning engraving, as he studied informally with master engravers from four countries. After many years of studying the history of decorative design, and practicing and mastering engraving, Neil combined his drawing and engraving skills and went "real old school" with intaglio printmaking. As with all Neil's art, including his engraved buckles, his familiarity with nature is his inspiration. Most engravers don't print, and most printers don't engrave, making Neil's hand engraved, hand-pulled prints both rare and collectible.

Neil chooses to hand-pull his prints one-at-a-time in traditional fashion, allowing him to fine-tune the engraving for depth, perspective, shading, etc. Depending on the hardness of the plate material (i.e. copper is softer than steel) each print has a limited edition of 40 to 250 and is conservation mounted.
