with the featured Artist...
An avid en plein air watercolorist for nearly three decades, Annette Messitt was inspired by veteran on-island printmakers to try printmaking in 2017. She hasn’t looked back.
To create her prints, Annette carves linoleum and rubber blocks that are inked and transferred to paper by hand, etching press, or block press.
Annette is currently focused on reductive lino printing. This process involves a finite number of color overprints made from a single piece of linoleum, with more of the linoleum being cut away for each overprinted color. She has recently been inspired by vintage toys and crockery because it forces her to maximize the number of colors and layers in order to capture their charm and patina.

Aether H2O exists to do business differently - to promote artists' works of beauty, passion and dedication, and to share profits from thoughtfully produced, environmentally sound, bottled water. Simple, right?
Everybody wins. We believe doing work you love and earning an income from it is more than aspirational - it's an option we can collectively act on.
Visibility is a massive challenge for even the most gifted artists - let's see them! With an Aether H2O bottle you will quench your thirst, and support an artist at the same time. Our intention is that each featured artist will gain the visibility needed to reward their work; to grow their audience, fan base, opportunities and revenue.
And yes, you read that correctly, 50% of the profits from your purchase of Aether H2O goes directly to the artist gracing the label. It can't be any other way!
