kinaloon's Shop Announcement

I am a painter who has fallen in love with screen printing. Like my paintings and drawings, the images on my cards come from whatever happens to interest me. I love flowers. All the flower designs come from the flowers in my backyard. Which isn’t so much a yard as it is a garden. Some of the other designs come from my friends love of birds. Or being impressed by the thousand origami cranes a friend and his wife made for their wedding. Or just from the fact I get a kick out of my nieces and nephews and their suggestions about what I should draw next.

The cards developed from teasing my niece, Eliza, about going to camp. And how I was going to write her lots of letters. Since I teased her for four full days, I decided I couldn’t buy a card—instead I made her a card. At first I digitally printed the cards, until my husband suggested I screen-print them. Now I’m addicted to the whole process of screen-printing: drawing the artwork, inking on mylar, shooting the screens. And most of all printing them.
