Michael Bond's heritage is observable in his lyrical etchings that often depict the countryside or historical sites of his native England. The artist has perfected a fluid intaglio technique in his etchings that are informed by the draughtsmanship of such classic masters as Rembrandt, Whistler and Haden. Bond immigrated to the United States in 1976, and studied printmaking in Minneapolis and at the University of Wisconsin.
Though he now makes his home in Wisconsin for part of the year, the artist reserves large blocks of time for returning to England to draw. Work accomplished during these stays fuels the artist's activity that is now dominated by producing etchings and showing them throughout the United States.
