Welcome! I'm so glad you are here. I started printmaking in 1995, when my Grandma gave me an old set of her printmaking tools. Since then, I have dipped in and out of printmaking, but I always come back to it because the process is incredibly satisfying. If you were to visit me in my home studio, I would offer you a cup of coffee or tea and a cookie. I recommend browsing the artwork with those in hand.

Mother Jones

$40.00

10"x 14" (25.4cm x 35.5cm)

Mother Jones (1837-1930) born in Ireland and survived the potato famine, emigrated to America, got married and lost her husband and 4 children to yellow fever in 1867. She moved to Chicago and opened a hat shop, which she lost in the Great Chicago Fire. She spent the remainder of her life agitating and organizing for better working conditions and an end to child labor.

In 1902 she was called the "most dangerous woman in the world" for her organizing skills.

Spring Rabbit

$30.00

8"x10" (20.32cm x 25.5cm)


Spring is here! The flowers are blooming and the rabbits are out, doing whatever it is that rabbits do. I love to watch the wild rabbits through my kitchen window in the early morning before the house wakes up.

Moth Under Moon

$30.00

8"x10" (20.32cm x 25.5cm)


Moon, moth, and moonflower play together under a starry sky. Have you ever smelled the fragrance of a moonflower? No wonder moths love them! Moths have always fascinated me--any creature that is awake and industrious in the evening hours has captured my imagination since I was small.

Out with Lanterns

$40.00

9"x12" (22.86cm x 30.48cm)


A little snippet of the work of Emily Dickinson, who spent her whole life writing small poems that somehow managed to contain all of the world's wonder. I've been an Emily Dickinson fan since high school, when I read her poetry and felt the air rush from my lungs. Her works remain an inspiration and a collection of her poetry sits on my studio shelf, nestled next to Kahlil Gibran and Mary Oliver.
