Jim Sherraden is an artist, printer, and curator of Nashville’s famed poster and design shop Hatch Show Print. He is especially known for his woodcuts and ‘monoprints’ – amalgamations comprised of prints from various hand-cut blocks stored in the Hatch Show Print archives. What began as a method to clean ink off of old woodblocks turned into one of Sherraden’s signature processes to create his monoprints that feature the ‘chance merging’ of archived motifs and imagery. Sherraden’s prints have been collected worldwide and exhibited at various art venues including the Smithsonian Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, and Hatch Show Print’s Haley Gallery, among others.
