For Valentine’s Day, Chicago’s Zócalo Group hired Nancy and six other artists to design, illustrate and hand-letter love notes on behalf of their client, Coffee-Mate. The public was invited to send in Valentine’s messages for their sweeties by way of Coffee-Mate’s Facebook and Twitter feed. Then, selected messages were interpreted and illustrated by the artists and posted online. You can see the whole collection on Coffee-Mate’s Facebook page, and below are some of the Valentines that Nancy created.

Chicago Public Artwork Goes International

In the summer of 2007, “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” was launched in Chicago. Nancy Pochis Bank was among an international group of artists selected by the jury to design and create a globe to be displayed in the lakefront exhibit.

Since the start of the "Cool Globes" project, Nancy has created four 5’ globes that have been exhibited across the United States and internationally.

“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is a non-profit organization established to raise awareness of climate change and inspire individuals and community leaders to embrace solutions. The public art exhibit features larger-than-life globes, each designed to depict a solution to global warming.
