Stamp artists have the extremely challenging task of depicting the shared history, culture, and beliefs of an entire nation on a one-inch square piece of paper. They work to find the perfect balance between the countless perspectives and experiences of the American people with their individual artistic visions.
This year’s Guest Artist at the National Postal Museum is Katie Kirk. Her minimalist designs are rooted in Midcentury aesthetics and incorporate bold colors and geometric patterns. During her term, Kirk and museum staff will create a variety of educational programming and resources for a wide range of learners and interest levels.
The Guest Artist Program is generously supported by the TurningPoint Foundation.
