In Episode 5 of "Oh, For The Love Of Art!", host Sam Bishop sits down with master printer Steven Fournier (Flying Horse Editions at UCF, Orlando). Steven takes us behind the scenes of one of the world’s most respected collaborative print studios—where painters, sculptors, and conceptual artists create original fine-art prints using traditional techniques like copperplate etching, stone lithography, woodcut, and more.

From interning at the legendary Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE) on Long Island right after college to becoming a full-time master printer, Steven shares his unexpected journey from illustration major to craftsman who helps world-class artists turn their visions into limited-edition prints. He explains how print studios function like recording studios, why he still loves the tactile push-and-pull of copperplate etching, and how he sees himself more as a problem-solving craftsman than a traditional artist.

You’ll also hear about growing up drawing comics and skate graphics, balancing music (French horn!) with visual art, some of his current favorite artists, building a stick chair from big-box-store materials, and why authenticity is what truly sells artwork.

Whether you’re an artist, printmaker, collector, or just love the weird, wonderful side of making art, this episode is packed with inspiration, technique, and real talk about finding your path in the arts.

🎨 Perfect for anyone curious about fine art printmaking, collaborative studios, or what it really means to feel “most yourself” while creating.
