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’m spending the week in Ohio with my family, visiting loved ones, eating too many donuts, and spending golden hour with cows. . Oh, and complaining about my dad’s coffee. . I’m also working on these Daydreams for June 27th, now and then. 💙
And we’re off! I’m taking a travel kit of art supplies, including a small block, gouache paints I haven’t yet tried (😍), and a number of Daydreams to work on! I’m also taking along this giant tumbler of hot tea for the road! . @mixologist_world gifted it to me to try, as I’m on the hunt for a solid travel mug. It’s large enough for two servings, and keeps my tea or coffee nice and hot! If you’re interested in checking it out for yourself, I put a direct link in my stories! . Look out for beautiful Ohio pictures soon! 💙
These three are some of my earliest work, and it’s so interesting to look back on old pieces. Similarities, changes. . Hidden Cabin, the one in the middle, is actually the inspiration for my recent large mountain piece. I wanted to approach it now, a couple years later, but also on a grander scale. . We are headed to Ohio tomorrow, so it looks like I won’t have a chance to print that big one again before we go. But, that said, I am taking plenty to work on and I hope you will follow along on Stories especially, as I will share pieces of “home” with you. 💙
I should be packing.
When I first carved this print, inspired by my son’s imagination and beloved “roar-roar,” this is what I had in mind. It took me over a year to actually paint the background, but now I’m totally in love with it. 🦁 I might just have to do a mixed media series on canvas in this style.
Day one of summer break. . Let’s just say we’re all surviving.
