Trader Joe’s Art Gallery

Here’s something I never knew: Each Trader Joe’s store employs a team of artists to write all the signs, price tags, and labels.  Who knew!?  I met a TJ artist this weekend.  She’s fresh out of college and paints murals decorating the store.  It takes her about a week to complete a mural.  Currently she’s working on a farmer’s market scene.  She says most people mistaken the wall art as wallpaper. 

Workwise, they give her leeway to design the art, provided she stays within a given theme (like a vegetable or farmers market).  So she shows up, pops on her iPod and paints an artichoke.    Nice gig huh?
