Six Months Six Locations

The series explores the life a couple taking on the United States around the 1960s. They were known as 'snowbirds’, like the migrating birds to warmer weather pulling a trailer to explore and enjoy their retirement years. This illustrative print series inspired by my Master's thesis, 'The Modern Nomads.' With materials I found from my grandparents' collection, photographs, postcards, daily journal writings, and maps, I created a visual story through six locations around the greater United States. The medium explored lithography (machine) for the 4-color imagery first, then hand-pulled screen printing of spot colors on the individual prints.
