About The Artists
Helen Popinchalk is a full-time artist, curator, and adjunct professor at Simmons University in Boston, MA where she teaches screen printing, printmaking and a variety of other studio courses. Helen earned her BA in Studio Art and Arts Administration from Simmons University and her MFA in Printmaking from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. Her work has been widely exhibited in Boston and beyond. Collaboration is a fundamental part of Helen’s artistic practice - she works with Blue Triangle Gallery in Boston and was a founding member of the print collective Trifecta Editions that produced innovative limited edition screen prints and art objects. In 2016, she fell down the rabbit hole of installation art when she worked with two other Boston-area screen printers on a black light poster show. From there, squeegee in hand, she never looked back. She lives in Medford, MA with her husband Chris but her heart resides in the badlands of the American West.
Andrew Bablo is a visual artist who builds, fabricates and experiments through the use of various media. He loves to work interactively, large-scale, and in the eye of the public. Bablo started his career in branded and licensed apparel design, working with major league sports teams across the country for brands like Old Time Sports (now ‘47 Brand) and Reebok. Later, Bablo collaborated with the industry’s top artists, athletes, and brands as the Editor-in-Chief of Steez Magazine, which he founded in 2006. Over the course of nine years and 35 issues, Bablo grew the magazine to a major publication, distributing at thousands of major newsstands in the U.S. and Canada. In 2015, Bablo founded Steez Design, bringing his artistic background to the commercial and hospitality world. He enjoys blurring the lines between his fine-art career and commercial projects. Bablo graduated from Montserrat College of Art in 2007 with a BFA in Graphic Design. Currently residing in Southern New Hampshire, he works as an artist, designer, and entrepreneur and spends his free time traveling and enjoying the outdoors with his family.
