Getting Creative in 2024
It's snowy and cold outside right now, but Spring is around the corner and it's a great time to plan for some creative rejuvenation in this season of growth! Registration is open for two absolutely fantastic Mid-Atlantic region art retreats coming up in April and May 2024. I hope to see some of you there!
The Creative Minds Summit in 2023 was such a success that we're doing it again in April 2024. I will be teaching two all new workshops - "Art Journal Explorations" (currently full) and "Art Show in a Box." I hope you'll join us!

Curious Clay Creations
I'm thrilled to have a new article showcasing my new series of whimsical pieces in the latest issue of Somerset Studio magazine.
In this article, I'm combining my love of figurative artwork with clay, stamps, paint, bits of fabric, and more... all on slices of wood. The article shows several examples from the series and also includes a how-to.
I hope you'll take a peek! It should be in subscriber mailboxes now and available in stores any day.

New Rubber Stamps!
It's been a bit since I had a new product release - I took a bit of a break to catch up on other things, but I'm excited to be back with three new hand-drawn stamp sets that are now available, designed by me for PaperArtsy. Check out the official release post which includes a project tutorial.
Each set is focused on one of my favorite areas of nature - the ocean, with several fish (including Clown Fish,) a leafy Sea Dragon, coral, bubbles, and a fragment of a sounding chart. Then there's my Garden Birds set which features a Red Winged Blackbird, a Downy Woodpecker, and a Carolina Chickadee along with a woodpecker feather, an acorn accent, and a branch where the birds can perch. Last but not least is my Garden Pollinators - Marigolds and Lantana along with some Lemon leaves, a bee, a butterfly, and a fun jar where you can create your own stamped garden bouquet.
They're available in the shop and from your favorite PaperArtsy stockists.
