Frank Boyden

Frank Boyden works in ceramics, printmaking, sculpture, and public art. He founded the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in 1970 and the Margery Davis Boyden writing residency program in 1991. His artistic practices reflect his lifelong interests in the environment and the biological sciences. He received degrees from Colorado College and Yale University.

Boyden began making prints in 1963 at Colorado College and studied with Gabor Peterdi at Yale during graduate school. He has produced approximately 400 editions of prints. From 1984 to 2000 much of Boyden’s printed imagery paralleled the imagery found on his ceramics. However, in 2000 Boyden began to produce prints that explored the human condition as well as a series of mystical landscapes.
