The Remarque Team
The Co-Owners:
Lincoln Draper
A native New Mexican, I have been working as a free-lance and fine art photographer in Albuquerque for over twenty years. I have photographs in the collections of the Albuquerque Museum, the Harwood Museum in Taos as well as numerous private collections. In addition, my images have won many awards in local shows and exhibitions. I began exploring photogravure at Remarque nearly four years ago and have been excited by the creative possibilities it has opened up for my prints. I am also excited to be integrating photography with the rich world of print-making and look forward to the creative projects that Remarque hopes to foster.

Jessica Krichels
I am an artist and educator, originally from Maine. I lived in Mexico for 13 years and it is there that I truly fell in love with printmaking. For several years in Guadalajara, Mexico I had a cooperative gallery/workshop space where I worked with other artists to create innovative shows and offer a great variety of classes. I moved to Albuquerque with my family eight years ago, and joined Remarque five years ago. I am ready to offer all I can to Remarque, and am excited about the potential to innovate and connect with the community. I currently teach visual arts to high school students in SW Albuquerque during the year, and travel to Sitka, AK to teach in the summer.

Jessica Weybright
I have been a printmaker at Remarque since 2003, and have lived in New Mexico the better part of 30 years. I am very much looking forward to moving into the future with our wonderful new team. I am a traveler and a sketcher and I love to incorporate aspects of my travels into my work. I work primarily in photogravure, but I love all aspects of printmaking and experimenting with new (to me) techniques.

Holland Hardie
My journey with Remarque began with a summer internship in 2016. I returned to New Mexico in 2019, after graduating from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and completing a post-grad art program. I was hired as Remarque's Marketing Director, and in 2020 I became a Co-Owner. As a printmaker, I primarily work in relief and copper etching - lately, with a large focus on reductive woodcuts. My prints are dreamlike reflections on nature, the cosmos, and my place within it all. I have exhibited in galleries throughout the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, as well as in Texas, Washington, and New Mexico.
