I’ve been busy at home carving and printing a new series of linocut notecards.
Here are the latest 3!!!
You can see all notecards by visiting the PRINTMAKING section from the menu at the top of this page.

Bear With Teapot
I’ve been home with a little bug, sipping hot herbal tea, and was inspired to carve (and print) this block print.
It’s made with an oil based ink, so it needs a few days to dry. I’m taking orders now, if you, or someone you know might like one of these notecards.
New block print notecards!
I’m SUPER EXCITED that printmaking season has started at my studio!
Here is my first group of linocut notecards:
The art is 6″x4.5″ printed on a 7×5″ notecard. The notecard is made from acid-free, heavyweight paper made with 100% post consumer recycled materials. The ink is made in Chicago, the paper made in Michigan (both about 5 hours from my studio). An envelope is included-so you can share my art by mail to your friends and family!!
These are a hand made products made by me in Old Washington, Kentucky. The designs are hand carved, inked by hand, then put through a hand cranked press. No computers or electricity involved.
you can see more of my printmaking work by clicking PRINTMAKING at the menu at the top of this page.
Thanks everyone for your support!
Kiln Firing 6 February 2022
I just opened the kiln–i had some wonderful goodies, like these little cream pitchers. I don’t know why they got me so excited, but they sure are cute!
Another exciting thing is that I’ve ben experimenting with greens, and have some new results.
Here’s a gallery that shows EVERYTHING that was in today’s firing.

Studio Catch Up 3 Feb 2022
I haven’t shared much lately, because I’m getting used to the electric wheel…here’s a quick peek into the studio. Hope you all have a great weekend!
Work In Progress-Fox In The Snow Porcelain bowl
the carving is done, now i just have to let it dry, put a clear glaze on it. It’ll go through the kiln twice, and if all goes well, this little fox bowl will be able to serve your morning oatmeal or soup, or whatever warms you up on these cold winter days!
stay tuned to see how it turns out!
Introducing GRETA!
I’m really excited to introduce you all to the latest member of my clay studio: Greta!!!!
Feels Good To Be Back
Feels good to be back at the Pendleton Art Center! If you are going to be in the downtown Cincinnati area between now and 4pm, you are welcome to stop by! I’m on the 4the floor.
Kiln Opening 20 January 2022-first fire of the year!
If today’s kiln opening (the first of 2022) is any indicator of what the new year is going to bring-it’s going to be a great year!!!
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so I made plenty of red and love themed pots. They would make the perfect gift for that special someone who appreciates a hard carved one of a kind work of art that can be used everyday to eat or drink.

Update:
As an artist, sometimes there’s a conflict between my creative ideas and REALITY. I’ve had to accept that the front porch idea loses its charm in winter. It’s too cold, and I don’t feel right encouraging people to take an unnecessary long drive in the country during winter.
HERES MY NEW PLAN: The porch will be open over the weekend, but after that, I’m bringing all the pottery to my studio at the Pendleton Art Center Cincinnati. I’ll be there once a week (still deciding the date-probably Wednesdays – what week day works for you?), you’ll be able to visit and take your time while looking at the different pots (and other art) in a heated space.
Sorry for the abrupt pivot, and hope to see you soon!!!
Fox Jar – Sneak Peek – 15 January 2022
Here’s a sneak peek at another clay work in progress. It’s a porcelain lidded jar.
The carving is all finished. if it makes it though the kiln firings *fingers crossed*, it will be bright red and black on porcelain. Would make a great container for salt, sugar, relish, mustard, honey, etc.
Stay tuned to see how it turns out!
