Polka-dots, magnets, and hearts, who knew? People like ‘um so I made more. Also, the heart shapes come from left over quarter moon wood shapes of my phases of the moon hangers. I like how that happens. #art #entrepreneur #woodworking #sustainable products #hearts #magnets

I love sending thank you cards, so I was particular pleased to sell two this weekend. For me, when I sell something I make, I replace them, two cards coming up! #art #greetingcards #cutpaperillustration #collage #entrepreneur

Here is my stab at a butterfly. I love the #stencil now I need to use more fanciful colors. #printmaking #art #prints I like the sticker like cutout for #collage

Fun Friday Fish Catch. Saw a version of this in a video game I was playing. #inspiration comes from everywhere. #art #printmaking #worksonpaper #prints

Transitioning :: 2026 This one is bigger than I usually work, so I wanted to take advantage of impact with those dense black circles as opposed to the barely there white shapes. #art #abstraction #minimalism #printmaking #makersgonnamake

A little walkthrough of the studio I share with a #furniture maker and a mixed media artist in Connecticut ♥️ #art We think of it as a contemporary gallery. #printmaking #mixedmedia #entrepreneur #painting #collage #sculpture #woodworking #greetingcards

Snoopy announced he is withdrawing from the Freedom 250 Celebration. (well I had to join in, right) #freedom250

#monoprints take on a life of their own. While the third image is what I envisioned the first and second images are more trippy and hard to decipher. Is #art more engaging when the viewer has to work harder for meaning? #printmaking #print #wip

Just put the veggie garden in. All I can say is I can’t get up and down like I used to. 🤪

First run on a new stencil is usually full of issues. This time the stencil was sticking to the plate and there was so much humidity, the paper was sliding. Sooooo, I will try again today, later when the rain has stopped. #printmaking #worksonpaper #art #print #wip

“I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees.” -HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Here is the little fence I made put to its intended purpose. This is Farmington Valley Arts Center in Connecticut. It is where my shop is. I also made the wooden planter last year. Now we just have to hope the plants take hold. #woodworking #gardening #artcenter #art #entrepreneur

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

A little #printmaking to round out the week. I have found I much prefer prints that create a shape on the page through white space than a wallpaper that is an overall pattern. #art #worksonpaper #print #flowers

The nice thing about learning how to build things is you can make whatever want. Today I wanted a little fence, so I made it. I also made that red door years ago because the opening was not standard. #build #woodworking #reclaimedwood #art #learnsomethingnew

As I am a believer in free speech I never counter people on comments, especially the few Trump supporter “friends” I have. But man, one really has to be braindead to still support the guy.

One of my favorite reclaimed items‼️ #birdhouses 🐦 Made from discarded drawers these handmade items are a staple in the shop. The woman who bought the last one came in and asked for them specifically! yay. #art #entrepreneur #woodworking #sustainable I included and image of one unpainted

FYI people. #ballroom #politics

I am tired of people saying how hard it is/was to leave a mind numbing platform or stop shopping at toxic online stores. Seriously people these entities want to control you. Have a backbone, show them you are made of stronger stuff. #amazon #politics #x #socialmedia

I am a great admirer of #botanical drawings. These #prints reflect that idea. #art #printmaking #flowers It is the stem stencil here, I think, that makes this print successful.

Posting and documenting work is so important for artists. It garners feedback and allows artists to view the work in another medium. I made this #print as envisioned but saw the flaws, today I will adjust it. #wip #printmaking #art #flowers

more symbols, maps and play with the dash/colon. #art #printmaking #abstractart #worksonpaper #print

Why does 🤡 have to reject anything that is good? Why, for him, only money has value. The latest insult is making public land available for sale. He and his money grubbing friends are so devoid of anything that most people relate to as common decency it is mind boggling. #politics

I have been interested in maps, plans, blue prints, and all sorts of specialized symbols, numbers, and language. These #minimal avenues in my work are reflected here. #art #painting #minimalism #printmaking

Replenishing birthday cards for the shop. My long time making of cut paper #greetingcards, developed my skills for cutting stencils for later #printmaking techniques 👑 Love the way that works. #art #worksonpaper #entrepreneaur

Variations on a theme, plus fun with frames. #art #abstractart #printmaking #designthinking #worksonpaper

A fresh phases of the moon hanger for the shop. It is another one of those good sellers that keep me going. #woodworking #art #phasesofthemoon #sculpture #entrepreneur

In honor of the greening of spring (plus a sale) I made another #concrete planter. These little planters are good for sales that support my fine art endeavors. #entrepreneur #sculpture #succulents #plants

I went back to the cup to switch the background from dark to light. I also like the painterly edges giving the image some vitality. #art #wip #printmaking #coffee #print

Give me a candidate whose pitch is "The government should be run like a government."

Quilt :: 2026 Words, shapes and the desire for order in an increasingly disordered world. #printmaking #art #worksonpaper #abstractart #makersgonnamake

Did a quick mock up of an idea I had. This panel box has a history of peeling so it comes in handy for trying new techniques. #wip #printmaking #mixedmedia #art #abstractart

When Ideas Converge 2026 :: Had a dream about this one, it is the interpolation of separate ideas. Must be spring. #art #abstractart #painting #criticalthinking #makersgonnamake

Working out color registration, with some success. #art #wip #printmaking #worksonpaper #designthinking

Tried another type of cup. I might cut another shape in the #stencil after seeing this. This is the nice thing about social media, you can look at your work in another forum. #art #printmaking #designthinking #print #wip

Happier together. Have a nice Sunday Bluesky. #art #printmaking #makersgonnamake #worksonpaper #coffee

Day 2, things I have learned about the new stencil. It works better with a smaller background. A darker outline makes more sense. Thicker pigment makes for better definition. Try analogous colors for the cup. #wip #art #worksonpaper #printmaking #prints

Day one of a new stencil, one that is more complex than I have made before. I thought the unmasked background was a mistake, but it grew on me. #art #wip #printmaking #worksonpaper #coffeecup What do you think, masked or unmasked?

More work with color pallets, strong 70’s vibe here. #printmaking #worksonpaper #art #print #anstractart

Been having work done on my house so #artmaking has taken a back seat. I did spot these in my back garden and had to share. Today I can get back in the studio, whew! #art #photography #spring #tulips

Trying a new color pallet on this one. From here on, each #print will be assessed for possible framing. #art #worksonpaper #printmaking #abstractart

no surprises here ✍️ youtube.com/shorts/smkri... #publicschools #education #politics

Reclaimed frames mean the image fits the shape of the space. Plant like chairs grow here. #art #woodworking #sculpture #painting #makersgonnamake

The problem with trying to convince Trump supporters that he’s an idiot is that they’re idiots too.

As I suspected the warmer days have brought on warmer color pallets. #art These two #prints are pretty happy. #worksonpaper #printmaking #abstractart

Minimal chair surrounded by color. High contrast study. #art #sculpture #painting #minimalism #woodworkingl

Another cool experimental #abstraction. Sometimes I kinda just go for it on these #prints and they somehow work (in my mind anyway). #art #printmaking #worksonpaper
