You’ve probably seen a lot of Jessica Hahnlen’s designs on hoodies and t-shirts, as well as towels and napkin sets. She also paints in watercolors — a huge body of work that will be on display at the Juneau-Douglas City Museum this month.

On Tuesday’s Juneau Afternoon, Hahnlen will talk about how the exhibit is a culmination of what she’s learned as both a silkscreen and watercolor artist – and what it means to be an “eco-conscious” business owner.
