Piece description from the artist
From teenage summer nights to my wedding day, to playing in the harbor with my husband and children, the town of Port Washington, Wisconsin has been a character as much a setting in my life story. Docked in front of the old Smith Brother's Fish Shanty is the Oliver Smith, a commercial fishing boat built in 1944. The creak of the metal tug in the water is a gentle soundtrack for the generations-old fisher folk who take to the pier every morning.
Sara Graves is a print and pattern designer living near Chicago, IL. She pulls inspiration from the world of literature, nature, childhood memories of time spent among the forests of her home in Wisconsin, wildflowers, and the vast shores of Lake Michigan. Sara’s work is guided by the need to share the tiny, beautiful things that might be overlooked in a world saturated with information and activity. Sara graduated from Columbia College in Chicago with a BA in Journalism, and whether writing, painting, or drawing, her goal is to tell the story of the people, places, & things she loves most.
