Getting ready to start a new batch of stall signs and have room for a few more orders!

I'm at the 4H Tack Sale at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds (bldg C) today until 2pm, or message me for details!

Personalized signs, perfect for horse stalls, small businesses, or any other applicable need! 100% handmade using a combination of techniques including woodburning, routing, painting and relief carving. I love working with clients to create a unique sign design that fits and reflects their personality!

PM to inquire about pricing or to start a design journey!

Tomorrow night! Stop in to TeaHaus where I'll be holding a free form conversation about my art as part of Kerrytown Gallery Nights! Ask about my process, inspiration, see--or maybe even hear--a few of the instruments featured in the current display, or maybe just watch me work! We'll just have to see how the night unfolds!

My first two 3D wall art pieces, miniature pub replicas, "Cooley's House" and "Roisin Dubh" will be featured in this exhibition at the Gutman Gallery in August! Very excited to be part of this show highlighting the diverse works from participants in this year's Emerging Artists program!

🎨✨ The gallery reopens this Friday, August 1 with an opening reception for the Emerge Exhibition from 4-6pm. All are welcome. 🎉✨

Thanks again to everyone who made my first time as an exhibiting artist at the such a special time, and especially this time to all the friends and family who took the time to stop by and say hi! I want to call out and thank you all individually, but there are far too many and I know I'd inevitably leave someone out! Just know how much it meant to have such a wonderful group of supporters!
