Surtex 2012 Press Kits - Artist Sharyn Sowell

As I mentioned in my earlier article on Surtex, press kits are an opportunity to be published by blogs or other publications. While at the show, several press kits caught my attention so I am going to publish a few artists that had one.

Artist Sharyn Sowell

"Sharyn Sowell's studio is a tiny cottage in the garden awash with snips and scraps of paper, pots of ink and glue, scissors, clattering old printing presses, several Nikons and far too many tubes of paint" - Sharyn says. Her mixed media work has been "more successful than she ever dreamed possible," featured on products from best-seller Kindle and iPad covers to home decor, fabric, giftware and much, much more.

A calligrapher, silhouette, and watercolor artist who loves her vintage printing press, Sharyn combines cut paper, type, photography, watercolor and pen work into layered mixed media designs. When not working in her studio, Sharyn can be found working as artist-in-residence on cruise ships, teaching workshops nationwide, digging in the garden or hiking rugged mountains, where she sings a very off-key hymn of praise for the miracles that surround us.

Sharyn's love of visual image and the written word fill her blog and her website.

Special Surtex 2012 Series – Exhibiting Artists

I started a Surtex count-down, just for fun; it's exciting! We have 10 days to the show and so much left to be done – I don't know about you, but I am a little bit on edge, getting my 20+ press kits done in addition to the binders and what not...but I am also looking forward to meeting many of you who will go to the show, to just walk it or to exhibit!


To continue in style with this special Surtex series, here are two artists who share inspirational words. Sharyn Sowell will be exhibiting in Booth 645 and doing demos whenever she's not showing her portfolio; attorney and artist Tamara Holland will debut at the show and you'll find her designs at Booth 464, represented by Montage Licensing.
