A little shop with all original art work. Letting these small works of wonder fall into new hands, finding a certain destiny. I happily donate a portion of proceeds from every sale to: Dog Rescue Agencies, Immigration Services, Human Rights campaigns. If you have a special request for a donation, please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate. If you see something you love but it has sold, please feel free to contact me. If you have items of your own (vintage family photos, old books, mixed ephemera) and would like to commission something special, I'd love to converse with you and am happy to show you past commissions for ideas...

I love this art so much; it's beautiful in my house! And thank you for all the extra messages and USPS wrangling when the shipping was weird.

some supplies at the studio--
a studio of one's own. a place to sit with all the juicy bits that come into play...
I love the pop-up shop opportunities that come throughout the year...

Constantly Curious

I've been creating and selling original artwork, greeting cards and posters as well as large-scale commission work for a number of years and continue to be curious about what's next... I love the inspiration that comes from city living (first NYC, then SF, now Los Angeles) and work to engage in all walks of life.

Conversations with strangers, gorgeous musical input, and the everyday noticing of the world around me keeps me a creative mind-set year round.

I am a huge collector of the weird and wonderful, ephemera, photo albums, vintage books, strange keys, tiny leaves, and unusual fabric scraps and with these bits and pieces,

I create art

that tells

the untold stories.

I listen

as the past speaks

through the objects

I collect and

now hold in my hands.

I started collecting paper and making things when I was just a little kid...I grew up and couldn't seem to stop. This has led me to here. I like this place. (Portrait shot by https://katemoranedwards.com/)
