BIO
ELENA GRAY

Artist, Designer, Educator
I am an artist based in Ferndale, MI with a wide variety of artistic skills, including printmaking, painting, graphic design, and craft skills such as stained glass and sewing! I received my Bachelor's degree in printmaking from Kendall College of Art and Design in the spring of 2020. Since then, I have worked at Cranbrook Art Museum as a museum educator, primarily teaching art to children and planning grant funded projects.
I am a freelance graphic designer and have worked on a wide variety of projects including logos, packaging design, and event posters. I also design and print work for my brand, Golden Hour Press. I sell hand printed items, stained glass, as well as a variety of other items on my Etsy, Golden Hour Press (link).
