Printmaking

Painter by nature and printmaker by trade, Matt Christie has contributed works to numerous private and corporate collections since the mid-1970s. Matt is inspired by natural form, color, and movement—the constant elements linking his stylistic developments.

He has served as Director and Master Printer of Anderson Ranch Editions, a limited-edition, fine-art print publishing enterprise at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, Colorado. He served as  professional printer at Shark’s Ink in Lyons, Colorado for more than 15 years. While directing Anderson Ranch Editions, Matt also served as Artistic Director for Printmaking at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, known internationally for its visual arts education and residency programs.
