I'm now in St. Paul!
My greeting cards, giclee prints, and framed illustrations can
now be found at the Artist Mercantile in St. Paul. It's all local
art--more than 70 Midwestern artists--which makes for
an eclectic mix of art and gifts.

Check it out: I'm in the Walker Art Center
Yep, my greeting cards are the newest addition to the
world-renowned Walker Art Center's gift shop. I heart
this store and it's cool/quirky/design-inspired merchandise,
and now my cards will mingle among said items. Neat!

It's wedding season
I had two wedding jobs this year and both are now wrapped up.
I look forward to working with another couple on making their suite
match the look and feel they want for their wedding day. Below
is one wedding suite, and I'll post photos of the second one as soon
as I get them photographed. Thanks to both couples for choosing
me to design your pieces!

Another new store
I got the coolest email in April--out of the blue--from Sara Nachreiner
of Mitrebox Framing Studio in Minneapolis. She had seen my cards
online and talked with a connection of mine, and wanted my work
in her store. How exciting! So Mitrebox is now selling my individual
cards and Minneapolis box sets. Aren't out-of-the-blue emails fun?
I look forward to working with Sara and Mary Fajack!

New store
You can now purchase my designs at the two locations of CorAzoN!
The cute stores will sell my greeting cards and framed illustrations.
Stop in to pick up a Mother's Day gift or the perfect card to make
someone smile. I'm so excited to have my work in this great store
owned by two cool women!
