You know that giant space above your couch?  What about that prominent wall in your dining room?  I've been dreaming of creating large statement pieces that will bring those places to life, and this spring, I created the first of many pieces designed to fill those special spots in your home.  "The Heron Pool" (shown above) measures 23 inches wide by 17 inches tall, and comes with a custom cut acid free matboard that fits in a standard 22x28 inch frame. I pull each of these prints by hand (without the use of a press) and it has definitely been a massive undertaking, however, I absolutely love the result.  I'm starting with a limited edition of 40 black and white prints, and I also have blue artist proofs available as well.  As with all of my prints, less than 100 imprints (including all editions and artist proofs) will be sold from this carved block. Shop this print. 

We have some new arrivals in the forest this month.  Three baby red shouldered hawk chicks are being raised just down the road from me, and I've been going almost every day to look at them.  These are woodland hawks, often living in bottomland hardwood forests, and close to swamps, rivers, and ponds. I've been dreaming of illustrating these beautiful hawks for a few years now, and I was thrilled my husband was able to take some great photos I can use as a reference for my future printmaking endeavors.

 

Festival for the Eno- July 3rd-4th.  I am so excited to be juried into this festival, particularly because I'm a frequent user of some of the 7,400 acres of park that this organization has helped to preserve.  Now that I am fully vaccinated, I'll be participating in a handful of festivals and art shows this summer, and I'll work hard to maintain a safe environment inside my booth. Tickets go on sale in late May, so support a great cause and come and see me! Click here for info about this event.
