ABOUT


HI!

Orange Barrel Industries is an artist collaborative co-operated by Blake Sanders
and Hannah March Sanders that curates exhibitions and presents workshops and
lectures around the world. We’ve been together since 2007, and collaborating
since about 2010 on artworks, exhibitions, and events. Even our wedding took
place at an international printmaking conference as an art event! We work
independently and collectively with each other and additional artists in
printmaking, fiber arts, installation, and other forms of art making and
pedagogy.


A LOVE STORY



Blake and Hannah met at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana while Hannah
was finishing up her undergraduate BFA with a concentration in printmaking, and
Blake was getting started on his MFA in printmaking.

They were married in a series of official 2011 Southern Graphics Council
Conference International events entitled Blessed Unions in Saint Louis,
Missouri. Blessed Unions was comprised of three days of functions including an
exhibition at Fort Gondo Compound for the Arts, a panel discussion on making
printmaking partnerships work, and two wedding ceremony performances.

Blake and Hannah spent many years together exploring South Louisiana commuting
to teach at a variety of institutions in the surrounding area including Tulane
University in New Orleans, Baton Rouge Community College, and the University of
Louisiana in Lafayette.  After nearly 8 years in the swamp, they took off for a
tenuous 6-month adventure in Murray, Kentucky. Then they relocated to Bowling
Green, Ohio at the beginning of 2013.

Beginning in 2013, they braved the perils of living a 14 hour drive apart, which
included lengthy phone conversations full of, “what are you thinking about?”s
while Blake taught Printmaking at Bowling Green State University, and Hannah
taught Drawing, Design, and Art Appreciation at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community
College.

They are now happily reunited in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where they both teach
at Southeast Missouri State University. They were joined by Levee in 2014 and
Batty in 2020!
