We are all adjusting to our new life with the threat of the virus. I honestly thought the USA would be able to keep it from spreading across our country. How wrong I was. It all seems like a bad dream and we expect it will be gone but then we do not wake up from that dream and find ourselves at home and masked and not going to so many events we had looked forward to. So many have lost jobs and as well as small self employed people have been left with little to no income.

All of us must connect in our isolation. I find myself feeling a link to past generations who have suffered through plagues and so many trials throughout ages past. There is something basic about home and doing tasks of caring for family and for myself, farm and animal chores. The victory gardens of the past are now coming alive again for so many.

I am fortunate that I have my art and live in the country with the Adirondack Mountains calling from the distance. I have found it an adjustment and disruptive to selling my art in shops and showing in galleries. But I have my yard that in spring I can set my dye buckets out to create batik and my studio upstairs can again have the windows open to let in the sweet air from the meadows and woodlands with the sounds of the brooks and birds filling my spirit.

Please be aware that the turn around time for everything will be slower and be ready for a message from me. I may need to announce a new delivery time or I may have just run out of some things and I still have lots of other choices to select from. The sooner I hear back the better to get your purchase to you.

Thank you to everyone for your patience and appreciation.

  • 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

  • A print shop

    Montreal, QC

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

  • Red Bubble

    Melbourne, VIC

    A shirt with an evil cat. A phone case with a galloping donut. A tote bag with a star-surfing astronaut. Whatever your thing, you can get art you love on super well made products.

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).

Returns and exchange details
All effort has been made to clearly represent each image sold, however, monitors vary. If you are dissatisfied, you may return your purchase within 14 days in its original condition and packaging at your expense and I will issue a refund, less a 20 percent restocking fee. Certain clothing is not returnable as it is made to order and custom printed.
Payment
I accept Paypal and direct checkout with Etsy. Items will not ship until payment is received. New York state residents will be charged a 7% sales tax.
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.
