Inside the Studio: Adam Dehus Art

As part of Boonerang Art Festival 2025, I spent time in the compact, under-100-square-foot studio of Durham illustrator and screen printer Adam Dehus. Surrounded by inks, tools, and hand-drawn designs, Adam prints each piece himself. This project offers a close look at the space where his work takes shape, and the thoughtful, hands-on approach behind it.
