Just finished this watercolor painting of a passageway and door in old Emboreio, Santorini. I love wandering through there every time I visit. I'll even capture the same doors over the years and notice their aging or a new coat of paint.

Just did a mini print run for mini totes with my Olives and Oleander linocut.
These little cuties need a few days to dry, but you can still pre-order them now (DM!). $25 plus shipping. They will go live on the website once they are dry.
6 total!

Come check out my watercolor tangerine 🍊 at Peel Gallery's 5th anniversary party (this evening) and art show (until sometime in January?)!
I forgot to take a picture of her before I dropped it off - she's mounted on wood panel and varnished with cold wax medium 😍

Today for the Paint the Forest plein air event, I decided to go with ink and watercolor. Found this little cove with beautiful fall colors.
Going to frame this one and submit to the show.

Test print (under-inked) of my tufted titmouse I made while printing my Carolina chickadee on some different paper with my new woodzilla press. Very excited about the press. Not so sure about this paper. Also going to switch to oil ink.

Pulling prints in preparation for a holiday art market that I'm going to be in!
It's November 8th at Golden Belt in Durham! I'll have mostly watercolor and prints but also a few linoprints like this one.

Final self-portrait... What do you think? I was so nervous doing this one since we are always our own worst critics 😂
Overall, I'm pleased with it (and embracing all my imperfections)

Working on a new series of mixed media figures - mostly dancers I've taken pictures of over the years. I really like the figure in motion, and dance has always moved me (pun intended 😅).
