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.

Next collection of Painted Terrain Daydreams goes live May 1st at 3PM EST. I will post previews between now and then on Stories, and put them in a highlight reel.
Happy birthday to SJ! My first-born, my willful adventurer, my soft spirit, my creative soul. Brilliant and complicated and stubborn and sweet and oh so constantly curious. . I definitely did not finish his moose in time, but we spent all weekend outside and busy with spring cleaning to prepare for upcoming amazing changes. . I’m so excited for the year ahead, to see what moments and experiences wait for this child of mine. And to see if he ever learns to be patient with Squish. . Aaaand to see if we survive the fearsome fours.
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!
