Lost and Found

I just finished working on these 3 fun pieces for an author who wrote this super cute story about a family's adventure through San Francisco. I can't talk too much about it because it isn't published yet!  Fingers crossed that there will be more of these soon.

Christmas Angel

I have started working on Christmas projects (despite the craziness of PiBoIdMo) and I am excited to show you the first design of the season! This Christmas angel card is 5x7" and will be available for purchase in my Etsy shop today! Please stay tuned for more :)

Whale Rain - Revised and Completed

Queen of Tea

In The Rain

Rain comes from whales, of course!!

Tea Time

In the spirit of spring and hoping for good weather I created "Tea Time" to celebrate fun times outdoors with friends. I am thinking about placing prints in my Etsy shop to sell. Anyone have any thoughts? 

Snail Mail

Another new piece using the same method of printing each piece separately, cutting them out, and then layering them all on the same piece of paper. 

Little Librarian

Working on my portfolio while nailing down my process. 

Moon Baby

This is a 6 x 8 painting that I created today!

Birthday Card

Here is my latest greeting card design! It is a hand printed card so all of the letters were carved backwards! You can purchase it here in my Etsy shop. 

Rain Kiss In Pink

Postcard Project

Postcard project completed for a marketing campaign for a client. 

Valentine's Cards

Here are the latest woodblock prints hot off of the press. I did a series of greeting cards in the color schemes above. The inside either says "True Love" or "Forever. They are all available for purchase in my Etsy shop! Come by and take a look.

Exotic

 This week's image, "Exotic" is a linocut print completed using 2 different blocks in 3 different stages.

Envelope Doodles

Recently, I decided to add a few spot illustrations to the envelopes that I use to send out my children's book manuscript as well as for the envelopes that I use to send out my illustration portfolios. Many art directors see hundreds of envelopes a day and I thought that this might be a fun way to say "Hello!" without them having to open up the envelope. :)

Kora

I just finished this print! So excited to be sharing it. If you are interested in purchasing a copy they are available in my Etsy shop.

Peony Painting

Sleeping Beauty

Finished at last! Sleeping Beauty has been a 7 month project this year. The final print is 12 colors and contains more detail than I have ever achieved before now in the woodblock printing process. I am so excited to finally share these months of work. 

Episodic Magazine

I am very happy to announce that two of my pieces are being featured in the December issue of Episodic Magazine. These two pieces were submitted and accepted for the "Nighttime" theme. 

Please check out the magazine to see more (click here). Many other talented artists submitted their work! I also want to thank Moses Domingo for introducing me to Episodic Magazine to begin with.
