Marian Lansky

Marian was a professional graphic designer for 25 years, many of those spent collaborating with her husband, printmaker Rick Allen. In 2003 they started The Kenspeckle Letterpress together, in Duluth, Minnesota, and in 2009, after years of doing client work, she began to harness her leftover creativity into producing her own artwork. Marian is inspired by color and pattern, wherever and however they appear. Her work has been digital for the most part, but in 2018 she began to reacquaint herself with traditional media, loving “the tactile feel of real surfaces and pigment.” She does miss having an UNDO button, however.
