Just realized I never introduced myself here. Hello! I’m Kate, a Louisiana based block printer. I have been an independent artist for about 7 years, before that I was a scientist. I love exploring the intersection of folklore and the natural world . . . especially swampy wildlife.

Not exactly feeling festive about the upcoming year, but why not share some snake art anyway?
This is Cotton Mouth from 2019. I need to print more of these.

Just a reminder for anyone that might need it: focusing on something creative may feel trivial and pointless in the midst of all this doom and panic, but it’s not. Taking a moment for yourself is not acceptance or weakness, it’s fortification.

On the scale of animal ladies, how is everyone handling the holidays?

I am solid opossum to opossum/grackle

Block printer that just joined, any other printmakers here?
