Introducing the 2012 Chinook Book Cover Artist!

2011-08-23T18:19:40Z

Mimi Williams “No Child Left Inside”

We held a contest for local artists to design the cover of this year’s book. The submissions were amazing, and we faced a difficult choice. In the end, we selected a block print by Olympia artist Mimi Williams. In addition to teaching third grade, Mimi is a printmaker who works primarily in linoleum cut block prints. According to Mimi, “The art of creating a linoleum block print requires you to decide what will be the negative and positive spaces, and it is this process that gives nuance to the image.” Each print is unique, as she hand prints each image impressing the ink by using the back of a wooden spoon. Mimi’s work can be seen at mimiwilliamsprintmaker.com.
