Episode 24 – Luc Century

Luc Century is a self-taught artist got into etching while working at a resort engraving people’s names on snow skis, then a window washing job in the 70s led to a 4 year exploration of how how to transfer images and color onto glass, which resulted in an innovative photographic process for creating stencils that could be used in sand-blast engraving, which he has applied extensively and prolifically over the years.

He might be best known for being the person who engraved the more than 58,000 names into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC. He’s lived on Sanibel for nearly 30 years now with his illustrator wife, Dee, cranking out the art and living the island life.
