Printing more CPC branded bags for folks to take their new artwork home in. ⭐️ I mixed a fun green-blue color with some of our old community-use inks. The blue was old and almost dried out, mixed with a new yellow. It made for a nice green with the occasional chunk of blue streaking through.

‼️MEMBER SPOTLIGHT‼️
Ani Johnson is an emerging printmedia artist, specializing in etching and monotype. Originally from Boston, they now live and work in Chicago after earning a BFA in Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2025. Ani sees much of their work as an ode to printmedia through which they navigate their lived experience and relationship with the spaces in which they exist. In each piece, Ani attempts to embrace the qualities of printmaking that cannot be controlled, these qualities require the anticipation of uncertainty, which they believe encourages the use of intuition. This allows their observational work to access a truer experience of a space. Each piece is a practice of relinquishing control and leaving it up to chance, which, in turn, makes theirs – a practice of acceptance.
