Wishing I had one of these right now...

There's something about banjos that really makes me happy.

This weekend I scavenged some new fabrics in my boyfriend's wardrobe to use for illustrations.

I made this illustration for Providence Monthly to accompany an article about water quality in public pools. Sometimes it can be a real challenge to find a fabric with the right color and pattern to fit an image, but this was an easy choice- the geometric forms remind me of tiny bacterium or something.

Trying something new... illustration inspired by a photo for Kate Spade's new collection. I used a combination of new and vintage fabrics; the blouse pattern comes from a vintage hankie.

I fell in love in South County, a part of Rhode Island that doesn't exist on maps, characterized by farms and lighthouses and rocky shores. It feels like home.

Just finished polishing up the Feist illustration for Uppercase Gallery's call for submissions. They are looking for redesigns of your favourite LP, CD or MP3 into a classic 12-inch album cover, to be considered for publication in the Fall issue.
