I was having so much fun with this new piece I thought I would offer it as a print in several colors. It is now available in brown, blue and orange here!

Bremen Town
Bremen Town Musicians by the brothers Grimm was the inspiration for this new piece. These will be available on my website for purchase in several colorways this weekend, but for now you can find it here.
new in the shop
A quick post to let you know I have a new print in the shop, along with a lovely hand painted frame. I love the color, I almost kept it myself, but I’m running out of wall space!
spring cleaning!
I decided to put ALOT of originals in the shop today. I’m hoping to clear a little space for some new things I have coming up. Please go take a peek!
a peek
a measure of time
I recently finished up the third in a series of custom portraits that show this adorable little girl from infant to toddler and on. I love all the details her mother wanted included that have special meaning to the family, from the big red mushroom in the first to the three balls she carries in her basket.
Oh, and some new prints just went up in the shop!
win a print!
Head over to the lovely babyccino site to win one of my prints! Babyccino was started by four friends living in four different cities in Europe. I love that their blog was started as a way to maintain their friendship, and love getting little peeks into the city each calls home . We harbor the hope of one day living in Europe for a few month stint or so. I would love the kids to have a greater perspective on the world, and I would love to visit family in Germany. Someday, someday….
blue and cute
I just listed some new items in my shop. I am just loving this frame, especially with the hare print. Blue and red, one of my all time favorite color combos.
pretty packaging
Here is how all my paintings leave to go to their happy homes.
I recently bought this beautiful italian cotton ribbon here. I love it, and there are also some lovely alphabet ribbons I may have to go back for…

for the first time (that I know of) yesterday. Kinda fun to click and see yourself there!
There’s my little fawn pendant and mini print…
It is spring, right?
We woke up to snow this morning. Very strange, indeed. It would have been lovely in January, February even, but the end of March. As we left the house this morning, Ian looked down and asked, “is this real snow?” Yep…..
I put some new prints in the shop this week and will be adding more next week. I’ve been in this really amazing work mode lately, I keep waiting for it to fall out from underneath me. My dad gave me this giant canvas, something like 6′ by 3′ that he doesn’t need. It is beautful and I can’t wait to dig in.
Here are some upcoming and current prints:
drawing from the past
I started a new series of paintings that draw from old family photos. I’ve been thinking more and more about the passage of time. I think I wasn’t fully aware at how fast time passes until I had kids. Then you SEE it. Documenting those firsts, marking their growth on the wall… Anyway here is one of the paintings I recently finished along with another vintage children’s book page print. I will be adding these and several more to the shop this week.
real simple
I am humbled to be included in Holly Becker’s list of great kids art over at her Real Simple blog. You can check out all of the amazing artists here.
shop update
Here is another one of the prints that will be available in my shop tomorrow. I am so ridiculously excited about these guys. I will also be adding some original paintings to my shop.
birthday treasures
I have been busy working away this weekend on some really fun little projects. First, I finished up these sweet little boxes for my twin nieces’ third birthday coming up. I had so much fun filling these up with little treasures. I made them each a set of postcards and a sweet little ladybud mailbag to deliver them with. I also included cute little pouches from here and filled them with crayons. There are cute little mushroom stamps and a blank board book for them to fill up with their own creations!
Also, I have been working away on a new series of pieces using pages from a vintage children’s book. I am just in love with these! They will be part of a big shop update this week. Here’s a little peek:
*I just reread my post…I’m not sure I said ‘cute’ and ‘little’ enough
spring is coming
I just put up some new prints in the shop. Both feature a bunny. Spring is coming, yay!
Can you tell I have a thing for pull toys. My kids have grown out of them, so gone are my excuses to snap up all the cute ones I see out there.
swifts
My very favorite Portland tradition our family has is to go watch the Chapman swifts make their annual trip down the schools chimney. Every year we say this is Portland at it’s best! Here is a new print inspired by this yearly event. (you’ll have to wait until next fall to see them again)
new prints in the shop
I have four new prints in the shop! I love these little guys. They can be purchased individually or as a set.
nice surprise!
My prints are featured over at Poppy Talk today! Yay! I love that blog, a nice surprise to see my work there.
Thanks Poppytalk!
Windy Day!
It is howling past my window now.
I will be adding a new item to my etsy shop tomorrow. Here’s a little sneak peek:
These are really so cute. I took the fawn image from one of my paintings and created these pendants. They will also come with a fun little mini print of the same image.
