This year's "One of a Kind" show in Chicago, Ill. featured works by over 600 artists from across the United States. Central to the 12th annual installment of the four-day show was a special artists' competition entitled "Make Your Mark," in which artists were invited to contribute a work based upon the image of their own fingerprint. Bick's work, Born Identity (2012), a silkscreen and encaustic panel painting, was awarded top prize by the exhibition committee.
