5 out of 5 starsThis is my second time ordering a pack of condolence cards. The sentiment is simple, the illustration beautiful. I hope they remain available for a long time to come.

Thank you so much, Brandy! I'm so glad you're happy with your cards. :)

Art Inspired by Nature
Hi there! I'm Lauren. My work is inspired by my love of nature and bright colors. I make linocuts and woodcuts, greeting cards, handmade books, ceramics, paintings, and other home decor—you won't find my work in big box stores, but rather in small boutique shops and here on Etsy. I'm a lover of the outdoors and all things hand-crafted and am delighted to be a member of the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
Printmaking was my first love: I discovered it as an illustrator who wanted to make children's books. The magic of storytelling sucked me in, but the artistry of what comes with making objects by hand is what hooked me. I soon began making letterpress-printed editions of handmade books and delighted in making handmade paper and using traditional bookbinding methods to create limited editions. I love creating prints from woodblocks and linoblocks because it means drawing and carving the image first. I enjoy the mark-making and textures that come with carving into a block and then printing on the page.
I work in small editions of books, usually under 50 copies of each. Prints are hand pulled using a letterpress or an etching press—and sometimes using hand tools. I create both limited editions, open editions, and one of a kind works. For select pieces, I make archival reproductions. I use premium archival papers, lightfast inks, and other archival materials so that my works will last a lifetime. Many of my artist books are held in special collections libraries across the globe—I create books and art with the idea that they'll long outlive me. :)
I love it when something I've made makes someone else happy. Spreading happiness is fun...so I strive to create things that are unique and affordable, and made with the highest quality of materials.
Items in my shop are all handmade, all the time. I also strive to use sustainable materials whenever possible. Most of my products are shipped in compostable or recyclable packaging like rigid cardboard mailers and compostable padded envelopes. I avoid using single-use plastics as much as I can—prints are the one item that are sometimes shipped in cellophane sleeves to ensure they arrive protected from the elements.
