September Print of the Month
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...
August Print of the Month
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...
July Print of the Month

February Print of the Month
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...
A new print series for 2017
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...
