The competition was fierce in our first Targhee Bluegrass Poster Contest, with local and regional designers submitting impressive interpretations of the festival.
Kathleen Hanson, of Hanson Illustration, is our first winner!
(read on to hear more about her design inspiration, and see all of the poster entries!)
Kathleen and her husband Steve moved from Utah to Teton Valley in 2007 to work more closely with her sister Meghan on Hanson Illustration, a design agency focusing on architectural rendings, technical drawings, flora & fauna, magazine illustrations and greeting cards. Kathleen studied art and majored in forest resource management at the University of Montana and spends her free time painting images of friends, pets and the iconic imagery of Teton Valley.
“I was inspired by the rock posters that came out of the 60′s and 70′s, the stunning valley I am so lucky to live in, and the amazing people that are a part of my life,” said Kathleen.
Kathleen will receive VIP access, lodging and tickets to the 23rd Annual Bluegrass Festival in August, and a version of her poster signed by all of the artists at the festival.
