Artist Jim Boutwell’s academic training has been almost entirely in literature. He has attended St. Lawrence University, the University of Colorado, the University of Massachusetts and Kansas State University. He has a B.A. and M.A. in English Lit. For years Boutwell taught English and film making to high school and college students. At the Colorado Rocky Mountain School in Carbondale, Colorado, Boutwell specialized in teaching writing based on a structural approach. His concern in art follows his concern for the form of writing and literature. “In fiction and in life understanding is captured by an abstract theme based upon the structure of the concrete narrative experience. In art, I try to take that abstract understanding and translate it into a visual form and progression in color; thereby returning it to the realm of experience. Eventually it hangs on a wall and becomes actual; as assertion of the will that intends completion…”

Serigraph definition:

A stencil method of printmaking in which an image is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. Also called silkscreen process and screen-printing. A serigraph is a print made by this method.


The word Serigraph is a combination of two Greek words, seicos, meaning silk, and graphos, meaning writing. Silkscreen printing and other stencil-based printing methods are the oldest forms of printmaking.

Printmaking is a process for producing editions (multiple originals) of artwork. Painting, on the other hand, is a process for producing a single original piece of artwork. In printmaking, each print in an edition is considered an original work of art, not a copy.

Silkscreen printing can be traced as far back as 9000 BC, when stencils were used to decorate Egyptian tombs and Greek mosaics. From 221-618 AD stencils were used in China for production of images of Buddha. Japanese artists turned screen printing into a complex art by developing an intricate process wherein a piece of silk was stretched across a frame to serve as the carrier of hand cut stencils.

Silkscreen printing found its way to the west in the 15th century. The original material used in screen printing was silk, hence the name Silkscreen printing. Today polyester is the fabric of choice.
