Sammi Hayes is a printmaker, designer, and artist born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. Art has been a lifelong passion for her, and her obsession with printmaking began during her high school Freshman Art Studio, where she first encountered basic relief printing. From the first smooth slice of gauge through rubber, she knew printmaking was all she wanted to do.
After pursing her BFA at the University of Cincinnati and graduating Magna Cum Laude from the DAAP program, Sammi joined Rachael Hetzel of Pistachio Press and James Billiter of Billiter Studio as a studio assistant. With their support and instruction she has been able to grow her printing and design skills and finally achieve her goal of launching her own business: Lucky Jackalope. |
