creating to inspire wanderers.

I'm a self-taught printmaker and painter, living just outside Philadelphia with my family. Living near the city, I love the dynamic energy, but dream of mountain lakes and pine forests – some I’ve seen and ones I haven’t.

Made by Hand in Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania

 
I experimented with clippings from our yard to add natural touches of paint, and I really love the results! I’ll be playing around more this weekend with my older son. . A major inspiration for adding touches of nature to my work these days is @iamronnicole, a local Philadelphia artist who somehow manages to fossilize perfect moments of nature. I love the idea of capturing a fleeting detail and celebrating it. Her work is incredible, and you should definitely check it out!
There’s nothing like a Midwest sky. Expansive space above, broad and storybook blue, giving way to the gentle shapes of the land. I miss driving past farm fields, lined with crops or dotted with sweet-faced cows. I’m excited for the slower pace of warm weather and little adventures - maybe take the kiddos out of our bubble. 💙
I totally forgot my older son requested a moose print for his birthday. He, on the other hand, did not forget. His birthday is in less than a week. Oops!
Contemplating the next couple months, all the projects I want to work on and changes I want to make, and I’m really looking forward to dedicated studio time. It’s coming... but not today, which is why I’m on cuppa number three and wrangling curious kiddos. ☕️ Here’s to Monday!
Planning out tiny worlds - and the weekend! Our family is pretty excited for the sunshine. . Next Painted Terrain Daydream collection will be May 1, time TBD.
“Every aspect of our lives is, in a sense, a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.” Frances Moore Lappé . Wednesday afternoon thought in between errands on a surprisingly busy day. The sun is out again and I’m starting to believe we might really be past our never-ending winter. 🤞🏻
