17"x22" Poster Print Washington Shrub-Steppe By Katie Self (wooden hanger included)

Highlighting the beauty that surrounds us here in Central Washington I chose to depict the shrub-steppe, specifically the native flower Cascade Penstemon. This poster is a reminder of the importance of sustaining the native plants and animals that call the shrub-steppe home. As a direct call to Ellensburg and our historic downtown, I took inspiration from the ghost signs faded into the brick of many buildings. This influence is seen in the placement of the type and the texture added to the poster itself. I hope to bring together the community of Ellensburg and the preservation of the shrub-steppe with the combination of subject matter and execution of this poster.
