Introducing myself to the new year ~ nothing too polished or new, but it feels grounding to bring into focus some things that feel important to me right now.

venice-inspired drawings, less than postcard size. What I like most about watercolor is mixing moody colors and the old children's book feeling.

If you've ordered a sculpture from my shop, shipping is running a bit behind! I ordered the wrong boxes and we are waiting out a hurricane for two days. Sorry for the inconvenience, all the items are safe and I'll be all sorted out soon!

Hello! Are you familiar with the children’s books Chirri & Chirra? I feel like the illustrations have a similar quality to your art. They both feel joyful and hopeful and soft yet vibrant? I hope that makes sense & anyway I adore your art.

Chirri and Chirra were very inspiring to me when I was in art school! The drawings have so much narrative detail and still feel so refreshing and light. Such lovely books. 🚲

Have you seen the picture book Journey? It's just pictures, no words, and your art reminds me of it! Gorgeous work.

Ooh I haven't seen this book before! I love how immersive the environments are. Fantastic recommendation ❤️
