PAINTING AND PRINTMAKING
I design and print a simple line of luxury letterpress printed stationery and greeting cards. I'm really into custom personalized stationery for you or for your business. I'm also a visual artist so that is why you will also see Original Art Paintings in my shop! I'm obsessed with painting landscapes and it is the work of my life.

5 out of 5 starsAs described - simply lovely. Shipping was slow, but that's to be expected these days with USPS. I was able to track the progress and it's no fault of vandaliastreetpress.

The light inside my work space is so beautiful.
Ready. Set. Go.
Vandalia Street Press is a letterpress print shop in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Printing a line of greeting cards that are inspired by nature, simple ideas and subtle humor.
With a background in design and marketing, and a BFA in Painting and Photography, it was sort of a side step for me to think about printmaking. Not that I’m a printmaker - I’m an artist really, with many curiosities. But let’s face it, who can deny a beautiful old letterpress in need of a new home? Not me that is for sure.
And that is how it all started.
It was in 2008 that I acquired the first press. And frankly, it really frightened me. Will I lose a finger? All my fingers!!?? What did it mean for my artwork and how could I do something meaningful with my new 800 pound friend. I began designing cards while learning the ins and outs of the press.
Today I have two presses and a little print shop tucked inside a beautiful book
bindery. Vandalia Street Press has become a dream come true for me. A business that allows me creative freedom in both the card line and in a new series of art prints. I also do custom printing for design studios and clients. I’m able to balance art and business in a way that I never thought would be possible.
I hope my card designs and illustrations will bring a bit of joy to those who receive them. Perhaps a giggle or two, or to know that someone is thinking of you can make all the difference in someone’s day.

Owner, Designer, Printer
I have a BFA in Painting and Photography. Though lately I'm totally obsessed with printmaking. My work is inspired by simple shapes, subtle humor, and sometimes a little bit of Rock and Roll.

I have a BFA in painting and photography and had never really thought about printmaking. I've always made weird little postcards and ditties that I would mail to people. So naturally, a line of greeting cards seemed like the perfect introduction.
I designed a line of greeting cards and went to it. That was five years ago and boy have I learned a lot.
Vandalia Street Press is now a two press show. The C&P and one Heidelberg Windmill. I print artwork, greeting cards, kitchen art, and some custom work - I even taught myself a wee bit of screen printing. I use polymer plates, metal dies and linoleum blocks. I mix my inks by hand. I love it!
My designs are inspired by my love of simple shapes, subtle humour, landscape, and a little bit of rock and roll.
