Snail Mail Club, Lazy Daze, new lino, and Pop-up market
Hello friends and collectors,
Things have been busy in and out of the studio this past month, especially with the launch of my new art print club. Here is my new work, shows, markets, and more...
Tiny Observations art print mail club
In case you missed it, I launched a new snail-mail art print club. Each month, you get a 5x7 art print, tiny linoprint, and a letter with a prompt to pause and observe the world around you. It's all for only $10 per month and ships worldwide ($1-2).
If you'd like a bit of joy in your mailbox 📬 each month, subscribe now! The July club cut off is this Friday the 31st so don't delay!
Mark your calendars for Lazy Daze!
I'm excited for my first big art market - Lazy Daze Arts & Crafts Festival in Cary. I've been so busy prepping new work and unique booth offerings. Mark your calendars for August 22-23, and come see me in booth C303 - I'll have free stickers and bookmarks for email subscribers! Lazy Daze info
New Tobacco City linocut print and chine-collé prints
I recently experimented with chine-collé - a printmaking technique that uses layers of tissue paper to add color to block prints. Here are some of the results using a new carved block I call "Tobacco City" - it's the iconic Lucky Strike water tower in Durham. I'll have these available at Lazy Daze or reply to this email if you'd like to purchase before then (exclusive to email subscribers!).
The non-chine-collé version (top right) is a 2-color print and is currently available at my pop-up tables (DSSOLVER until Friday then Glass Jug - more info below).
Current shows and events
Join me this Sunday at the Page-Walker Arts and History Center, 119 Ambassador Loop Cary for the Fine Arts League of Cary 31st Annual Juried Exhibition reception and award ceremony, 2:00 – 4:00pm. I'm showing "Santorini Passages (Emboreio)".
I still have 2 works showing at Summer in Bloom at Griffin Fine Art Gallery at the Red Oak Brewery from July 10 through August 29 - "Santorini light" and "Sunflowers in vase".
"Cat Videos" is showing at the Durham Art Guild member showcase until September 7 at the Truist Gallery in the Durham Arts Council building.
Pop-up Table at Glass Jug
I've joined the Featured Artist Pop Ups by The Pufferfish project. My table at DSSOLVER Brewery in Durham wraps up this Friday. Then, on Saturday, I move it all (minus the original paintings) to The Glass Jug Beer Lab on Saturday. I'll have fine art prints, linocut prints, art print postcards, stickers and more.
Prints available in the online store
Fine art prints are available in my shop with free US shipping. You can find them all plus additional prints, linocut art, and more at shop.sia.studio →

I'll have a new watercolor workshop (tentatively September) with Curated by Wild once her new storefront is open in Hillsborough - stay tuned for more info.
