Unknown Artist

Hello! I was hoping someone might be able to help me identify this artist. Thank you in advance for any insight ya'll can provide!

 

Think the artist may be Larry Prestwich,originally from Utah.Signature is fairly similar,but you might need to research further.

 

That's why we like to see frames included in photograph. Frames are helpful in dating.

Signature looks right.

Hi Christine.Welcome to the forum.As Debora alluded to, without seeing photo of frame and back of work,it is very difficult to age a work and even then there is no certainty that frame or backing is original to work.Maybe ForgetfulExplorer might post more photos in order to give a possible date for work.

 

because of the warping at the top of the print and the discolouration of the edge of the acid mat...I'd venture the frame is circa 1980's....give or take..

 

Yeah Komo would reckon about right,70s /80s to me.

 

That looks about right for the mat.

Thank you all! Here are additional photos.

 

Stickers are very helpful in identifying and dating art work. Would you be kind enough to post a close-up of the one on the back of your piece?

The only online reference I can find to the Mamaroneck Art Gallery is for 1975. That's in keeping with the framing.

It does look a lot like the work of Larry Prestwich. Born in 1935, he is still making art. Or was a few years ago. Some biographical info here:
