My printmaking workspace for this current series! I flip the frame down over the print to get the white border and apply paint using a plastic bag and a pencil or finger... having fun exploring colors with this next batch ⁣✨✨✨ credit to @dan_tirels for the idea! #the100dayproject #100daysofprintmaking #printmaking #printmaker #monotype #monotypes #oilpaint #coldwax #coldwaxmedium #prints #printing #arteveryday #abstractartist #teal #layers #carveouttimeforart #boldbrush #contemporarylandscapepainting #contemporarylandscape #abstractlandscape #abstractlandscapes #landscapeart #originalart #contemporaryartist #coldwaxpainting #corporateart #waterscape #americanwomenartists #womenartists #artforthehome https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwpk8RIjM6o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u1hcx0x95148

Sunday vibes... coffee in bed is one of my favorite ways to start a Sunday... after I jump off of here I’m going to try for a social media free day. Although I will post my #the100dayproject later ✨ #socialmediabreak #labyrinth #coffee #coffeeinbed #selfcare #selfcaresunday #wishmeluck https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv88G2CjhwF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gg374w41ewhj

Walked the labyrinth in my yard today... turn on sound to hear the frogs peeping (there is a vernal pond right next to our house) and bird chirping! A little jingle of the dogs collar at the end 💞 Feels like spring outside finally! #labyrinth #artinnature #naturalart https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzNJHNDS1z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12mmkvz3h71ta

Had some time to film a short flip thru of this mini journal I’ve been sharing. If you have sound on you’ll get a little snippet of a song my husband made for me to add to videos! I will add a slightly longer version to YouTube so I don’t lose track of it. 🌝 #artjournal #arteveryday #ephemera #mixedmedia #collage #collageart #collageoftheday #collageonpaper #analogcollage #collagecollectiveco #mixedmediaart #artjournaling #journal #collageartist #handmadecollage #collagemaker #makersmovement #artoftheday #makersgonnamake #sketchbook #papercollage #modernmaker #arty https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsZatLDBEd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=144ksu7can0ev

I've been rediscovering my blockprinting stamps as I prepare for a class coming up at The Artists Muse in Amesbury with @melissapartridgeart ... this one was part of #carvedecember last year... making your own stamps is such a great trick to have up your sleeve whenever a project needs something unique! ⁣ ⁣ #excited #artclasses #journal #artworkshop #blockprinting #printmaking #learnsomethingnew ⁣ #funtimes #goodtime #blockprint #linocut #artfriendsarethebestfriends #happyhappy #monoprint #linoprint #brwnpaperbag #staycolorfullycreative #amesburyma #merrimackvalley #Amesbury #newburyport #newburyportma #massachusetts #printmaker #boston #bostonma #igboston #newengland #ignewengland https://www.instagram.com/p/BvTv0YGjTs7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kdifybuez9zo

Checked out my local library for old magazines and book covers for more art projects. These books I will use for my upcoming bookbinding class - we will fill them with our own papers. Love sharing this technique which I learned from @getmessyartjournal and @dansmoncrane check link in profile to register for the class in Newburyport on April 20! @newburyportart #bookbinding #merrimackvalley #newburyport #arteveryday #alwayslearning https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMQlRCDM5o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=urctgwmkj6ow

Working on my style... spending time watching #procreate videos and then I feel like I want to make work like everyone else out there... felt this one was the beginning of something more my own #alwayslearning #putabirdonit #procreatetutorial #sketch #digitalsketchbook #getmessyartjournal #brwnpaperbag #staycolorfullycreative #carveouttimeforart https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIe2-Rjt5X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=q1b344nyiccj

New work from my basement studio... ‘Split’ monotype using cold wax and oil paint. Part of a series I’m exhibiting this summer, but right now it still need some time to dry. 👀 #artist #artistsoninstagram #monotype #teal #layers #coldwax #coldwaxmedium #getmessyartjournal #carveouttimeforart #staycolorfullycreative #brwnpaperbag https://www.instagram.com/p/BvCsg8ejuoe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jp75j58gzmqh
