Coming Soon; Studio Clear Out Sale!
I started planning this sale back in April when it was beginning to be apparent that a move to California was on the horizon. I envisioned it as a last hurrah in my studio, pulling out old, new and never released work to be sold before packing our lives into moving boxes and starting our cross-country drive.
As much fun as all that chaos sounds, I am grateful for a few more months to slowly organize and pack, and the chance to still hold the sale - but on a much less rigid schedule.
I’ve been slowly categorizing, photographing and organizing work for the past few weeks, and should be able to announce the start of the sale sometime in July.
As with all sales, the email subscribers get the first look and chance to purchase - so make sure you’re signed up for the emails and keep your eyes peeled for more info coming soon!

Studio Update (in Photos!)
I hope everyone is doing alright in this lockdown.
I’ve been working away in the studio, though with the move looming above us I’m a bit more focused on finishing up old pieces and less enticed to start anything new. We haven’t heard any word about a moving date yet, but as I’m not super anxious to get into a situation where we’d need to move immediately and none of my work is packed up - I’ve been taking inventory and doing a lot of ‘pre-packing’ if you will.
So for now, here’s a quick update of some cool things happening in my space!
My friends wrote a book!!!!!!!
The Motherhood of Art by Marissa Huber and Heather Kirtland came out on April 28th. If you follow their Carve out Time for Art community on instagram you’re familiar with their message, about staying creative and carving out time for art. I can’t wait to read about the artists featured in the book and see what these two lovely humans have put together. Purchase it here!
I am still in love with working on these roll canvases. That’s all <3
A ‘junior’ curator over at Jenner McGinn Studios picked my Wood Study to be a part of this collection! Pop over to the site to purchase.
Again, hope you all are doing alright in this strange time. Much love!
Moving to California! (+addendum on 6/18/20)
Well I have a little bit of an announcement — looks like we’re moving to California!
My husband has taken a new job in the Palo Alto area (and I’m so excited for him!) so we’ll be packing up and heading out there when his office gives him the all clear.
What that means for my work:
All local work in shops and galleries will stay here, as my lovely studio assistant will handle inquiries and purchases.
My shop (and a few pieces available in various galleries) will be on a shipping hiatus for a few weeks as we move. Our plan is to take a little road trip across the country with Chewy - so it will be easily 2 weeks before I’m set up in a studio and able to ship again. When I know exactly when that will be I’ll make an announcement so you can order before we leave town.
New things! New colors! I’m so excited to learn a new space and see what happens on the canvas.
In light of all this, I’ll be hosting a Studio Clean Out Sale / live open studio soon. I’m not super excited to pack up all my work and put it on a moving truck to CA, and I’ve got a fair amount of other pieces I haven’t even released yet - so I’ll put everything together and do a virtual clean out of sorts. Once everything is up on my site for purchase I’ll announce a live walkthrough of my space, you can ask about seeing work up close or mediums used, inspiration… think of it as an open studio - from afar.
Once I have dates for everything I’ll make sure to get the word out.
I’m looking forward to new patterns, new horizons, being by the ocean again and putting these into paint - though Ann Arbor will always have my heart.
Here’s to adventure!
June 18th 2020 Addendum!!!!!!
Well, less panic about moving is always a good thing, I guess.
Looks like we’re not going anywhere anytime soon. We knew there would be a delay in when he would be required to go to the new office given the COVID 19 situation - but we weren’t imagining this long of a delay. Turns out no one is going back in until January, so we’re hanging tight.
I’m glad this is the case, less panic to move, less worry for my husbands safety/exposure in an office, more time to prep for the studio sale!
And yes, the studio sale is still happening, more details to come soon!
