I had the pleasure to illustrate a poster for our music department, the second in a series. (Last year, it was the Art of Guitar). I've been taking both guitar and voice lessons for nearly the last two years, so this poster was inspired by how my awesome voice coach helps us to visualize breath and sound moving through a body. It's been so lovely learning new skills late in life, and finding my own, very new relationship to music. Art of the Voice, Jessica Boehman, digital drawing, acrylic ink, and watercolor. 2023.
