Guess what, she’s also revealing a print of James Baldwin at the event. She’s been sweeping up accolades, including the McClain Award for Relief Printmaking and an Artist Fellowship Inc. Grant. Look out for her!

Jamaal Barber

Last, but not least, the accomplished printmaker and visual artist, Jamaal Barber, will grace the fair with his new works. He’ll show off everything from his interpretation of James Baldwin to a metal sculpture that talks printmaking and multiplicity.
