I’m a block printer, stamp carver, printmaker.
I make fun things, have severe fibromyalgia, CPTSD, and chronic fatigue.
I’ve been pretty absent across all of my accounts. Life is tiring. Sickness ebbs and flows. There is no set structure. I am alive, and that’s good enough.

Working a reduction linocut. The first layer was entirely yellow, not I'm hoping to ink 2 or 3 colors in this next layer.

Slap Ya Mama onto everything. Trust.

In our house we live the SYP Life among other yummy Cajun, Creole, and other single seasonings.

Another Louisiana themed reduction linocut project has begun.

I decided to do what I see a lot of other printmakers doing. I’m using ink to stain the linoleum as a second step before carving. My first step is using tracing paper to transfer my pencil design onto the lino.

First pride themed linocut block print in progress!!
I'll be carving this linocut in two pieces so I can keep it open-editioned for as long as possible.

Using washable stamp ink to test my Zatarain's crab boil stamp. This is actually the second stamp this round that I had to make. I messed up the first one pretty bad, but I love the result we have here after getting rid of several imperfections from the test print result. it's now ready to go.

The amount of time it takes to even prep to start printing is insane. Especially because of the constant struggle of recording the process. But. In the end, I got a beautiful first print.

An artist that loves to write. Interested in the monthly newsletter? I talk about what going on in my jumbled head and messy studio. All while creating lovely linocuts. Let me know your email address :)
