The only thing better than one memory from Italy, is three in a triptych. I have had the privilege and pleasure of traveling to Italy several times but this trip was by far my favorite. Walking through the Trastevere neighborhood in Rome, then winding through the back canals of Venice, my camera was up more than down. Now these three are heading off to a new home here in Chicago. Thank you Meg! I hope these bring you as much pleasure as I had taking them!
Printed, signed, dated, packed and shipped to a new home the same day it was purchased. All of my medium and small prints are done, by me, in house, for two reasons: 1. most importantly, it allows me to control the quality of the printing and 2. It means I can ship almost immediately, especially during the holidays :) I use a Canon Pixma Pro 300 and high quality, archival Pro Luster paper from Red River Paper. (If you are an artist who prints your own work, and haven’t checked them out, their paper is amazing) Thank you Dan, for giving one of my favorites a new home!
Many thanks to House Digest for including my work in their post, "20 of the Most Stunning Pieces of Wall Art at Pottery Barn." The post spotlighted one of my favorites from Burano, Italy, "Color Theory," which is one of a collection of prints available on the Pottery Barn website, as well as my own. Find the full House Digest post at the link in my bio under, "Explore Latest Post."
Don’t tell anyone but, I have it on good authority that a certain little girl will be receiving this little guy, mounted on a wood block, for Christmas. I wonder if she likes reading as much as he does? “Night Reader,” illustrated by me in Procreate using a combination of my own brushes and textures. Mounted, by me, on to a finished wood panel, here in my studio. 🐸
From design to final pin, sending a flock of two dozen bird pins off to their new home. I created the designs in Affinity Designer for iPad (@affinitybyserif) so I get the benefit of both rasters for the engraved bits and vectors for the cuts. I move them to the @glowforge dashboard where I fill it with as many as I can fit on the baltic birch board. Punch in the perfect settings (which I have figured out through many, many cuts), hit the big glowing button and let the laser do it’s work. When they’re done, I attach the pin fittings, pop them on their backings, and they’re off to their new home! Want to know how I made the birds in Designer?

Sweet tooth, new Affinity Designer class in the works, or both? 🍩
Where is she headed? Off to a new home, hand mounted on a 10x10 wood block. “Lucy in the Sky” was illustrated, by me, in Affinity Designer for iPad using a mix of built in brushes and my own. Thank you Elise, for giving her a new home! ❤️🌞
From one of my favorite photography sessions of all time, "Ghost Lady." The jellyfish series will always be one of my favorites to capture, so I'm happy to see this one heading off to a new home in a large print. Thank you Julia. for giving her a new space to call home. ❤️
Two years ago this month, I posted my Affinity Designer class, “Symbol Symmetry in Affinity Designer | Modern Folk Art Insects” It is still one of my favorites, and most popular, classes. I created this “Paper Moth” using the methods I teach in the class. (You can also get all the assets I use free in the class ;)) Find it at the link in my bio, under “Explore Latest Post.”
It’s that time! The contest on my latest class, “Animated Texture in Procreate,” is done and it’s time to announce the winner of the free year of Skillshare! Congratulations to Mona (aka @ichfassesnich here in Instaland) I will be reaching out to you shortly with your code for the free year of Skillshare!

My husband, @joesmigielski and I are both full time artists, and spend a lot of time bouncing creative ideas off of one another. That connection has been there from the night we met, ten years ago today, at the Andersonville Galleria (where we both had space to sell our work).
