Appreciating the richness of vintage typography and papers inspires both the sublime graphic design work and the whimsical collage art of Connecticut-based artist AMY GORREK. On the way to developing her own design practice, following stints with various design firms including Martha Stewart Living, Amy has perfected the art of appreciating details, instinctively finding the right balance of necessary and surprise elements. Pulling on her years of helping clients with their branding projects, Amy shares insights on how artists can find their own unique branding elements in the fabric of their artwork.

The ARTish Plunge podcast is a labor-of-love, staff-of-one project. For less than the cost of swim googles, you can help me “keep swimming” and hopefully help someone else take their own ARTish Plunge.
