Prints by David Simcox

Persimmons At Winter Solstice
by David Simcox
|
David Simcox has been a part of the Arts and Crafts Era Revival movement for over a decade. He began with large poster style watercolor images capturing agricultural icons from Northern California. These works included decorative borders and typology consistent with the Arts and Crafts style.
A second phase of work included the development of numerous linoleum block prints with both iconic and local images.
Simcox's prints are perfect for homes with prairie, bungalow, or mission style architecture or for those who simply love this rich era of design. See examples to the left and stop by our shop to browse our selection!
