Artist Statement:

With this poster design, I wanted to capture the fun and excitement of Summerfair and the colorful personalities of the artists and families who attend. I have always been attracted to designs and artwork that feel spontaneous. Therefore, I hoped to capture some of that energy with my illustration and color choices. Ultimately, I hope the poster puts a smile on people's faces and encourages them to visit Summerfair this year and for years to come.
