PRINT YOUR OWN CALENDARS!!! So excited to offer my first workshop - taught by me, hosted at .laundromat.gallery. This is a really fun concept that offers a gentle introduction to block printing but will yield beautiful results. Info in the photos / on the website. Only 6 spots, as I’d like to start small, and not overwhelm myself and the gallery space. Oh, and it’d make a great stocking stuffer ✨😜

Last week I opened a beautiful show at Haines Brewing Company, - "BOTANICALS." These prints are some of the most exciting work I've ever made, particularly the woodtype and linoleum block prints. Here's a smattering - all works can be viewed and browsed for purchase on the site!

My first printed poster! These art prints for ‘s inaugural Cowboy Ball were a joy and a challenge! My first block print since little dude arrived, and of course I needed to do a 3 color print with tiny letters. They’re a hoot - each a little different, but every one of them full of Alaskan Cowboy Character! A very limited run will be for sale tonight at the Cowboy Ball! See ya there, this mama’s puttin’ on her dancing shoes!

KATIE + NATHAN 🖤 An urban chic Alaskan wedding suite. K+N’s inspiration came from the magical neighborhood of Starr Hill - a vibrant community in downtown Juneau, nestled at the bottom of Mt. Roberts, and featuring illustrations of their friends’ homes stacked on the hill! There is so SO much to say here, so please head to my blog (link in bio) to read the full story. It was an absolute joy and privilege to create for K+N, it’s so special when a client’s aesthetic so seamlessly matched your own illustration and print dreams. More project specifics below and in stories!
Custom illustration and letterpress printing in a multi-piece suite, letterpress printed on 118 # and 236 # cotton paper, in a high-contrast color palette with pops of bright colors.

O N L I N E S H O P U P D A T E D ❤️ In case you need any last minute fancy paper goodies for you, for your work party, for your BFF. Plus I just invested an obscene amount of money into sleek new packaging, so I’d love an excuse to send some things in the mail. Speaking of the mail - USPS recommends all orders from Alaska are shipped by December 17. So you know, preferably I have a day before the 17th to package it up for you! Thanks for shopping local / shopping small biz-owned this holiday season! See you on the other side! ❄️
