Augusta Handmade Fair

THE HUNGRY FOX

Original Screenprinted Art

Meet The Artist

WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?
My name is Mikaela Fuchs, I live in North Augusta and I screen print my illustrations.

DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.
I paint or draw on translucent paper and use those to “burn” to an image onto a screen that is coated with emulsion. This creates a stencil. Each color is a separate layer. I scrape ink across the screen onto paper in layers to create my final artwork.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
Color, nature and stories.

FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.
I have three boys and I’m a baker.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.
I love checking out the Book Tavern and hitting up Nacho Mamas or Taco Cat.

WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?
I love getting really focused “in the zone” when it’s easy to create.

WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?
Develop good work habits, don’t wait for inspiration to strike.
