It is early spring at last and although still very cold and muddy there are signs of the new growth to come. It always seems like a miracle to me that we have made it through another dark winter and that plants of all kinds will spring out from the earth that right now lays flat, brown and hopeless from the winter. But there are already small promising shoots.
My husband remains in a nursing home and in spite of how much I want him home I am grateful he is cared for and better. The spring sky has a feeling of optimism and I again look forward to the time I can be outside again dyeing my batik art.
Thank you all for your appreciation and understanding. I am so glad to have you checking in to my shop and website.

Thank you for visiting my shop!

Thank you to my customers who have been very kind to me. I appreciate the purchases but also messages expressing appreciation mean more than you can imagine. I also love to see photos from those who have framed my batik and many that have created many things with my art fabric

Always check your shipping, PayPal or credit card address to be sure it is current when you place your order to ensure it will arrive at the correct address.

Shipping most products may be 3 days to ship, but clothing, limited edition prints, and custom printed fabric, scarves and pillows may take over two weeks to arrive if I have to place a custom order for printing. For rush shipping, please convo me! Overnight is always available but is expensive.

If you want to return an item, please convo me and return in the original condition within a month from your purchase. Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I have a 15 percent restocking fee. Clothing and facemasks as well as special custom prints are not returnable as they are made specially to order.

About amityfarmbatik

Sales 7,175
On Etsy since 2011
  • I like to dye outdoors, not too far from my home.
  • Chaos is readily available in the upstairs studio.
  • Here I am ironing out in the summer, out on the porch enjoying the flowers and seeing my cow and llama while I work.
  • Horse with Flowing Mane emerges from the dye bath.
  • Up in the studio beginning a new batik, the first wax under the supervision of Singer.

Farm girl meets the Internet

The first big challenge for me was that having worked on a farm for 30something years, I was tuned into animals, plants, fencing, nature and had no experience with computers! It was a slow process learning, complicated by the fact that our Internet connection was very poor.

I met a young woman in nearby Glens Falls, New York, Kate Austin-Avon, who has exceptional patience and skills who helped me learn how to set up my Etsy shop, prepare and upload images, set up a newsletter, website and more.

The other challenge was organizing my day. On the farm my day was pre scheduled to care for the animals with a mid day break in which projects and household needs could be worked on. (I still work on farms but not full time and they are not mine, but I still enjoy working with animals).

    I grew up in New England and attended Massachusetts College of Art. Then I fell in love with batik and my husband Richard, who whisked me away to a dairy farm in upstate New York. Many beautiful sights inspire my farmscape batik.

Production partners

    Montreal, QC

    We send our original artwork to this company digitally. They produce the product and drop ship it to our customers.

  • Red Bubble

I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art, in Boston and went on to study printmaking at the Museum School of Fine Art also in Boston as well as studying in Rome, Italy for a summer. It was later in the Berkshire hills that I fell in love with the batik process and also my husband, Richard. Richard whisked me away after his cows broke in with my horses. We searched together for a farm and settled on one in Washington County, New York, Amity Farm, where we had a jersey cow dairy. Many beautiful images accumulated over those years where the cows were rotationally grazed for 6 months of the year at the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Batik is a flowing sensous and soothing medium that is an ancient method of painting on fabric with wax and dyes. A batik may have up to a dozen or more wax and dyebaths before the wax is removed. The results are always magic! Much of my work relates to fantasy, mythology, and primordial themes. The farm has given inspiration to portray horses, cows, sheep, barns, fields and mountain views (farmscapes).

Shipping
We choose our shipping companies with care, and package our items the best we can. We insure all shipments over $50.

Since we have no control over things after they are mailed, we cannot accept responsibility for what happens after the package leaves our hands.

We are not responsible for errors on the part of the buyer, such as errors in the shipping address provided.

Please note that though my "Everywhere Else" shipping option is a set rate, I will refund you if the shipping cost is less than that set rate. This means you, Canada!

Notes for international buyers:

International buyers will be responsible for import costs and related expenses imposed by their country.

We cannot be responsible for lost international packages. USPS first class international often only provides tracking until the parcel leaves the U.S. & additionally, we cannot control & have no access to each country's customs & delivery particulars

We cannot mark international orders as "Gift" on the customs form or otherwise falsify customs information.

Since we have no control over each country's specific mail service & customs office, we can only ship the package in good faith & send it on its way.

We have no responsibility or information regarding import duties, taxes, customs, etc. that might be charged by the home country of our international customers.

Customs are the responsibility of the purchaser, and are, unfortunately, very often a part of purchasing internationally.
