The delicate operation – (limited edition print)

Kate Phillips is a Scottish artists who is currently residing in the Bay City Area. Her drawings and paintings are made using encaustic painting — an ancient technique which is a layering of bees wax/resin and pigments fused together with a blowtorch. Kate traps found images, old paper and thread between these layers to produce unique art forms.

She came along for the second time as a PikaPackage participant (yay!) and this time sent beautiful prints, as well as limited edition archive prints from her shop.

Rebecca Hahn resides in LA with her husband (fellow artist Brian Kelly Hahn) and Quimby, their whippet. She previously worked at the Walt Disney Company, where she drew Winnie the Pooh characters for their consumer product’s division! She’s now based in her own studio, where she is able to her long time love of story, concept and craft. She just recently put up these precious silver necklaces of her illustrations up at her shop, where it was lovingly conceived for the past one and a half years.

For the PikaPackage Project, she sent in her “Hey!” print, and letterpress + satin postcards (which you can see in this photo).

Henry, Lola and Syd, an original artwork

Susan Schwake needs very little introduction. She is one of the founders behind Artstream Studios — a gallery and art academy that dedicates itself in promoting the visual arts in downtown Rochester and on the web through exhibition of emerging and established artists, arts education, media and graphic design, and community partnerships. The works in her shop are originals — they’re small artworks and mixed media pieces, and are all one of a kind.

She sent in her beautiful original bird drawings — each one is unique — drawn on an 1883 German copy of Faust; mounted onto an acid free mat board.
