Surtex, the only show in North America solely devoted to selling and licensing original art and design for all types of products, is almost here! Each year we bring you a series of Surtex previews and we are extremely proud of many of “The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design” e-course students who have featured and continue to feature at the show.
We are delighted to share with you previews of the talented designers showing at Surtex on the Make it in Design blog – enjoy!
Today we feature ABSPD graduate Jennifer Wambach who will be exhibiting at Show Stand 322 and represented by Painted Planet Licensing.
*Designers Name: Jennifer L. Wambach
*How are you preparing for the show?
I’ve created several new collections featuring my watercolor paintings, including dinnerware, greeting cards, surface pattern designs and wall art.
*About you as a designer:
At age four Jennifer L. Wambach decided she wanted to be an artist when she grew up. She has a BFA in fine art and a certificate in botanical illustration. Jennifer’s artwork is licensed to several companies for digital die cuts, gift bags, wall art and fleece blankets; she’s a published children’s book illustrator; and she was once commissioned to decorate a larger than life size 3D fiberglass bulldog which she painted in her family room, right after her son had just learned to crawl. She lives in the Chicago area with her husband; three prolifically messy, spirited and wonderful kids; a shy cat and a very energetic and squirrel-obsessed beagle.
*Are you doing any other shows in 2016:
Besides Surtex, my agent will be showing at 2 additional shows in 2016: Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market (Atlanta, GA, July 14 – 16, 2016 & January 11 – 14, 2017), and International Quilt Market (Houston, TX, October 29 – 31, 2016).
*Which ABSPD course(s) have you taken?
I’ve taken all the modules: ABSPD mod1, mod2, mod3 and mod4
