print shop re-opening | support for artists impacted by hurricane helene

Thank you again to everyone who purchased prints during my inaugural print sale back in the spring - Your support means so much to me! Aside from the 15% of the total profits donated to the Lake Erie Native American Council, the remainder was put toward savings for the building of a backyard studio to hold my ongoing art practice.

Over these last few months, I’ve gotten clearer about how to develop a system of selling prints that feels sustainable for me. Instead of launching another pre-sale, my print shop will remain continuously open, starting today, October 15, 2024.

***Please Note*** Prints ordered in any give month will ship out by the second week of the following month. For example, prints ordered during the month of October will ship by the second week in November; prints ordered during the month of November will ship by the second week in December; and so forth.

In addition, 30% of all print sale profits will be donated to support artists and communities impacted by the profound effects of Hurricane Helene. Communities throughout the Appalachian region have been completely devastated, including the vibrant and well-loved arts district in Asheville, NC. Countless artists, makers and craftspeople have lost their entire studios, and some their homes, and have no way of maintaining their livelihoods as the daunting task of recovery is underway for the foreseeable future.

I will continue to donate 30% of all print sale profits through the end of the year and likely beyond. If you would also like to donate directly, I’ve included various links to artists’ GoFundMe pages, as well as organizations who are supporting recovery and community care efforts:

Spring Print Pre-Sale April 11-May 12

For the last couple of years, I’ve been sitting with the idea of creating prints of my ceramic sculptures. I initially began to consider prints because bringing one of my complex forms to completion can often take many months - and sometimes even longer! I wanted to find a way to make my art more accessible to more people and at the same time provide more sustainable support for my art practice.

Additionally, part of my creative practice has always included the photographic documenting of my work. I love finding compelling compositions within the sculptural form of each of my pieces, focusing on a distinctive area or interesting relationship from a particular vantage point. Over the years, I have created dozens of unique two-dimensional compositions inspired by the original three-dimensional forms.

And so, after much reflection, research, deliberation and planning, a series of limited 1st edition prints is now available in my online shop! I have chosen a selection of my favorite images for this series and I feel so excited by the results.
