The Art of Ted Colyer

Ted Colyer was born in Nova Scotia, Canada in 1947. He graduated from Mount Allison University in Canada and went to Japan to learn traditional Japanese woodblock printmaking from Toshi Yoshida. Ted Colyer was one of several Americans who had come to Japan to be trained by Toshi, the eldest son of Hiroshi Yoshida. Others were Sarah Brayer, Joshua Rome, Micah Schwaberow, Carol Jessen and presumably others that I do not know of.

Ted became one of the Western artists in Japan that American gallery owner, dealer and collector Michael Verne began to present and introduce to the American public in the 1980s.

Her remained in Japan as a professional printmaker and painter for 17 years before he returned to Canada in 1988.
