Philip Gresham
“A Call Away” & “ Sound Surround”
Philip Gresham started creating spray paint stencils and posters as a teenager. Through his time at the Kansas City Art Institute, his graffiti tendencies were reformed to making woodcut and lithographic prints. His work explores the competition of structure and nature which he often sees first-hand in his woodworking shop.
Jenna Otwell
Madame Mystic “Tap into the Divine”
My work as a Health Coach, Nutritionist, and Herbalist is an ever-evolving, lifelong process and I love every minute of it!
Visit Madame Mystic this year at The Zipper Fest and “Tap into the Divine” with a Tarot reading.
