Watch Boston artist Catherine Owens transform a sandwich board with PEM flare.
Catherine Owens is a Boston-based Food & Agriculture professional with a penchant for chalk-borne creativity and vintage sewing machines. Born and bred from a long line of southern farm folk, her creative spirit thrives on hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves projects with a tangible result.
After years of science-based grad school and general left-brainedness, she began tinkering with chalk and typography in 2012. Other creative hobbies soon followed, commissioned projects began to pile up, and Catherine started Chalk & Ink with the vision of growing her creative whims under a unified brand as time goes by.
When she is not perched high on a ladder or hammering rivets on the basement floor, Catherine handles food logistics, design & social media, and non-alcoholic beverages for Journeyman in Union Square, Somerville.
For more insight into her work and wanderings, find her on Instagram: @chalk_and_ink
