Little Button would like to honor Kelsey Schmid of KelseySchmidArt as our June 2018 Little Button Featured Artist!
Here's a bit from Kelsey:
"Thanks for following along with me this month!
I am a proud Rochester native, artist, and local art educator specializing in Printmaking and Hand Lettering.
The art room was always my favorite place to be in school growing up, and I decided I wanted to be an art teacher in 7th grade. I always had a fascination with handwriting and fonts, but I didn’t discover printmaking until my freshman year at Nazareth College right here in Rochester!
I love the way stamp carving is both a 2D and 3D art – how the act of carving a 3D object becomes a tool for creating 2D work. My favorite thing to do is combine both arts by carving words and quotes as well as imagery.
Along with running my small business, I teach elementary art at Longridge School in Greece.
The Rochester art community is an amazing place to live and work! I love getting to know clients through custom orders and commissions – for ornaments, home drawings, custom quote prints and stamps! Contact me with your ideas and we will work together to make them come to life.
You can find my existing work or request a custom stamp or hand lettering order through:
