This year's design is a winner! The best design yet.

Without further ado the 53rd Annual Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival artwork! This year's design is from Andrea Wisnewski a printmaker living in rural Connecticut. The prints are created in linocut and enhanced by hand with water colors. Her work is inspired by the natural world, gardens, knitting, and animals of all kinds. A hand knit sweater will often show up being worn by somebody gardening or shearing sheep! This design will be on our festival merchanise & available for preorder soon! Andrea’s business, Running Rabbit Press creates illustrations, greeting cards, children’s books and other goods for the home. Please visit http://runningrabbit.biz/ to view or purchase her work.
