This time of year our suet feeders are full of red cardinals. I love seeing them perched in the maple tree and foraging in the dogwoods. So it wasn't too hard to decide what to draw for December. :) I used gold ink in this print to add a little...
It's hard not to be thankful. Find this print for sale at Maisilene.
Last year, when I quit my day job, I started a similar project to the Print of the Month series. I designed and printed a limited edition monthly tea towel. The theme of the prints was pretty open-ended. I thought about the seasons and what I'd like to portray about...
The garden is teeming with activity this month. I've seen so many hummingbirds foraging the salvias and red cardinal climbers that I decided to pay tribute to them in this month's print. The solar eclipse is Monday, August 21st. We are so close to the path, I can't wait! My...
The July Print of the Month is here! It's a three-color, limited edition screen print. This colorful little print will pop into a standard 8x10 frame and would look so cute in a kid's room, or your room.
I'm excited about the June Print of the Month. I love how painterly it turned out! Our tomatoes are still green in the garden, but the marigolds, zinnias, and summer poppies are starting to bloom. The paper color here is a chipboard grey. I like how the four colors complement...

It's April and I'm finding it hard to sit still when the garden is buzzing with activity! I've been re-reading all my gardening books and listening to podcasts about what to do and how to do it in the garden. I've got 5 tomato plants ready to hit the soil...
Recently I was asked to participate in a portfolio exchange where the subject matter of the print was to represent yourself as an artist. I decided to go with a doodle in my sketchbook, which was this fern-like leaf I'd been painting repeatedly. In fact what I tried to do...
The Print of the Month for February is this Red-Bellied Woodpecker. We're seeing loads of these guys in our front garden this time of year. We have two suet feeders in the chaste tree and if I leave the curtain open, I can usually sneak up on them feeding throughout...
Last July, I started a new series for the remainder of the year, where I designed a monthly tea towel. The goal was to illustrate what makes each month special to me and to start a monthly practice. This year, I'm changing up the series a bit, and doing my...
