John Chichester


2025 Printmaking & Book Arts Resident

John Chichester is a multimedia artist from Rochester NY. After specializing in relief printing and earning his BFA in Printmaking at SUNY New Paltz, John's work moved to commercial large-format printing. Moving between upstate New York, North Carolina, and Los Angeles has given him a variety of opportunities to put a large amount of ink to many papers and other materials too. Recently John has switched his focus to crafting with his partner as they joined up to form ChimeraKat Studio. John is glad to return to printing with his hands instead of a computer. He is looking forward to reintroducing himself to the traditional printing methods and sharing his breadth of experiences with the community at Flower City Arts Center.
