DescriptionScott FitzGerald received his master’s degree in arts from California State University, Fullerton, and went on to teach drawing and printmaking for two years at the university. It was at CSUF that he discovered the traditional art of etching, and he immediately embraced the complex and difficult technical process of making prints from etching on copper plates.With a strong interest in history, FitzGerald accepted a commission to produce a series of etchings depicting 15 Orange County historical landmarks. Besides producing very intricate prints in various sizes, he has engaged in many other special projects. He worked with renowned English printer John Randle to produce a group of etchings illustrating Robert Louis Stevenson’s “A Child’s Garden of Verses” at Whittington Press of England. He also collaborated on a project with science fiction writer Ray Bradbury. The artist has more recently dedicated himself to painting and drawing.
