Wildwood Press was founded twenty five years ago in 1996 by Maryanne Ellison Simmons, who serves as both Publisher and Master Printer. Experimentation and the unexpected are part of Wildwood Press’ ethos, and each project strives to redefine what print can be. Wildwood Press is known not only for its custom papermaking, but also as a destination for artists who want the challenge of an etching press capable of printing 5-foot by 10-foot images. Ellison Simmons invites a select number of artists to work with her in St. Louis every year.

David Shapiro created the illusion of simplicity in his Clearing work - just two parts. But the parts are at once contradictory opposites - layers of complex textures. In these, some of his last prints before his death, David brings a lifetime of sophisticated problem solving and artistic language to an amazing, elegant conclusion.
