Celebrating this Beautiful World

Happy Earth Day! I hope everyone can take a moment to get outside and observe just one amazing thing about the world around you. It’s there if you’re willing to take a moment and look!


Today I’m celebrating by continuing hand coloring experiments on relief prints. I pulled out an older artist proof of my butterfly creation myth linocut before I make final plans for an edition. Just playing around with colored pencil today.

I hope you experience something amazing today!
