Sunday Souvenirs // 10

It’s never the same twice. It's just not. It can't be. Even when you feel stuck. Even when it feels like the world isn't moving (or that the world is flying past and you're frozen in time) everything is constantly changing. You know what they say: You can't step in the same river twice. 

And hallelujah for that! 
Without further ado, I am excited to share with you the launch of my print shop!

About 8 years ago, I started making linoblock printed holiday cards and sending them out to my friends and family. I've always been a painter, but it is awfully hard to share your work on a larger scale when each piece takes several day's worth of work, and prints were a perfect solution for that. Then, it got to a point where every year around November, I would start to wonder why the heck I didn't do this the rest of the year.

Fast foward to the last few years when printmaking has become my primary visual medium and my painting has been moved to the back burner. Suits me fine - I was always in pursuit of the perfectly clean, crisp black lines in my acrylic work and printmaking is an excellent fix for that as well!

I've previously gifted my works or sold them occasionally via Instagram Stories, but now it's here:
