whimsical ink drawings

I find great joy in drawing the ordinary, familiar objects we may see every day - such as bikes, typewriters, instruments and ice cream trucks. I also love drawing skylines, buildings and architectural details.

I work as an architect part-time, and this etsy shop developed from a need and desire to have a more creative outlet to my profession. It also became a fun connection to the world outside of my home.

I don't have much of a process aside from picking up my Staedler pigmentline pens in the night after my kids are asleep. I am inspired to draw by many things - especially for the people who I love (my dad is a fisherman, my mom an artist, my husband a writer and collector of antiques, my kids who find wonder in most anything).

I draw my drawings on smooth bristol board paper, and then I typically scan them and render them in photoshop before printing them myself as cards or prints.
I also love watercolor and pencil, love custom requests, and hope to have more original work for sale in the future.

Thanks for your interest!

    I was raised believe the things I made with my hands carried the most value for others. This has evolved into the making of hand=-drawn illustrations that seek to capture the whimsy and enthusiasm for the kindness and simplicity that life offers.
