Morrish is a visual artist with a background in photography and  printmaking. Currently, his main technical interest is photogravure  and the creation of works on paper involving intaglio and  letterpress. Photogravure is a difficult and elusive photo-imaging  technique. It gives a combination of the best traits of both intaglio  and photography on one archival support. For more information about  photogravure, please visit www.photogravure.net

Morrish graduated from University of Calgary with Master of Fine  Arts degree in 1985.
