I’m Tarek,

a printmaker based in Whitefish, Montana. I make watercolor painted linocut prints inspired by nature. My prints are hand carved, hand pressed and hand painted in small batches making each and every one unique. 

My road to full time artist has been slightly unconventional. A childhood in Sweden, a decade working as a guide in Glacier National Park and bachelor's and master's degrees in product design engineering combined with an endless curiosity for creating and the natural world lead me to where I am today. 

My pieces are detailed depictions from my adventures which help me, and my audience, slow down and focus on the nuances, not just walk past them. My artwork highlights native plants in their natural environments by using printmaking techniques with pops of watercolors. My goal as an artist is to raise awareness of human impacts on the the natural world and to inspire conversations about conservation.
