✶ hello! ✶
I live in Midcoast Maine with my cats Tove (toe-vah) and Snorkmaiden in the sweetest and slightly decrepit little victorian cottage that holds my whole heart. I work full time making prints and in my spare time I’m busy restoring this old house or knitting or napping. I started selling prints in earnest in 2019 and feel mighty lucky that this little business continues to fully supports me. Thank you.
I have a BFA in printmaking from RISD but/and I firmly believe that you don’t need a degree to be a full time artist ; )
I print all my prints on a vandercook no 4.
Also a part of this tiny operation are three sweetest part time employees who help keep things on track around here: Chip packs almost all the orders. Mia prints nearly every single patch that passes through these parts and can sometimes be found addressing envelopes. And dear Ellen helps me answer emails once a month or so cause otherwise I’d drown in them. Thanks sweet friends, couldn’t do it without you!
If you’d like to support me outside of my shop or following me on social media, be sure to check out my Patreon—and a special thanks to all my patrons for keeping me goin’! Mighty grateful for all you folks.
if you want to get in touch…please note I don’t read dms! instead..
