Parks Beach's hand-colored etchings are widely collected throughout the world. After etching an image onto a copper plate he uses it to make the print. Parks then hand colors each etching creating a work that is not only a special print, but also an original piece; no two are exactly alike.
Parks grew up in New England. He attended the Academia Belle Arti in Rome, Italy. He then returned to the United States to study at the Boston Museum School. He learned the art of printmaking through an apprenticeship in Western Massachusetts.
Parks' nautical prints are a wonderful addition to any collection. Previously, Parks has been commissioned to add his pieces to the Preservation Society of Newport, RI.
