Come out next Sunday (Dec. 4th) to browse some local art + handmade goods, have some snacks, and visit with friends new and old. I'll have a handful of new paintings, an armload of lopsided pots, and hot tea to go around.

Reposted @ladybonesprint 's photo- gearing up to print the announcements for our collaborative letterpress book. So exciting!

"What is beautiful in the plant is illness in the human being." Rudolf Steiner's quote pinpoints why drawing plants brings ease and peace to my process. I so often dwell on the imperfections (especially when drawing human figures, and particularly hands), but when drawing plants even the uh-ohs look like a well thought out characteristic. This allows space for my mind to wander and for new ideas and creativity to surface. No judgements, no melt-downs!

@littlelostindian made this together. We have a very limited edition of these collaborative prints available. If you'd like to give one a loving home, navigate to my etsy page (link in profile) or send me a note. Also, keep an eye out for a very special collection by the two of us soon to come.

Been feeling a little underneath the weather. Trying something new in hopes to find motivation aaaand I think it's working! This is fun and making art shouldn't be anything less than fun.
