<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 10255596, member: 33&quot;][USER=20897]@KnutzKollect[/USER]</p><p>There is a gallery online selling one of these prints. Artist is identified as John Moilanen, b. 1948 in Seattle, still lives in that area. Listing is about halfway down on this web page:</p><p><a href="https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/Code/Search.asp?c=Artist&amp;s=Moilanen" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/Code/Search.asp?c=Artist&amp;s=Moilanen" rel="nofollow">https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/Code/Search.asp?c=Artist&amp;s=Moilanen</a></p><p><br /></p><p>You have an artist&#039;s proof of a print published in a run of 15 copies. The one on the web page is the 2nd of 15.</p><p>The picture on that page is very tiny, and the signature can&#039;t be compared.</p><p>I found a page with a similar type of print to yours, and the signature looks similar. So looks like the right identification.</p><p><a href="https://www.districtauction.com/auction-lot/john-moilanen-b.-1948-wa.-etching_51D49AE8A7" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.districtauction.com/auction-lot/john-moilanen-b.-1948-wa.-etching_51D49AE8A7" rel="nofollow">https://www.districtauction.com/auction-lot/john-moilanen-b.-1948-wa.-etching_51D49AE8A7</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Many other of his works are here:</p><p><a href="https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/archive.20080612b.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/archive.20080612b.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/archive.20080612b.htm</a></p><p>And some bio. info here. <a href="https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/Code/ArtistBios.asp#John_Moilanen" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/Code/ArtistBios.asp#John_Moilanen" rel="nofollow">https://www.fineimpressionsgallery.com/Code/ArtistBios.asp#John_Moilanen</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There is a John Moilanen who owns an art glass studio in northwest Washington. From what I can tell, he is a different person, but is also probably related to the painter/print artist.</p><p><a href="https://www.jmoilanenstudio.com/about" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.jmoilanenstudio.com/about" rel="nofollow">https://www.jmoilanenstudio.com/about</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
