From the Newsroom: Rockford Register StarMeet the Artist: Javier Jimenez
Javier Jimenez is this week’s guest on “Meet the Artist,” the podcast from the newsroom of the Rockford Register Star.
Jimenez has just been named the first artist in residence of New Genres Art Space, which opened its doors on July 20th.
Jimenez is a Rockford native with a long history of illustration and screen printing here. He began his commercial printing enterprise as Saturated Threads Screenprinting. Through this work he was introduced to fellow illustrators who formed the collective known as Fatherless. Since 2010 that group, based in Rockford, has been showing their work internationally.
Jimenez is a husband, a father, a grandfather. And now he begins his newest role at New Genres Art Space.
On the podcast, listen as Javier shares his inspirations, his desire for a work-life balance, and how he’ll apply his creativity at New Genres Art Space.
