Philip Gresham

Philip Gresham started creating spray paint stencils and posters as a teenager. Through his time at the Kansas City Art Institute, his graffiti tendencies were reformed to making woodcut and lithographic prints. His work explores the competition of structure and nature which he often sees first-hand in his woodworking shop.
