Art Pursuits

It’s very important for me to have artistic pursuits outside of the workplace. I find that creating something that is physically tangible and hand made is very satisfying. When I lived in Chicago I discovered screen printing through a friend, and was intrigued by the laborious process of manually applying layers of ink to paper.

The two prints above were commissioned by the Logan Square Farmers Market, the city’s largest and most popular. The first edition of 30 prints were sold as a fundraiser. I was thrilled when they sold out and was asked for a second version, which uses a four-part CMYK screening process to approximate the tones of a photograph.
