Artist Statement:
When I made this piece, I had been feeling sort of lost in the woods . Tired, sleepy - that end of summer slowdown where you feel like you’re moving in warm molasses. Some kind of fairytale dream sleep brought on by the dust motes floating in the golden rays that filter through the branches of nearby trees.
We forge ahead, and we know that around the bend of the hottest days of the year, is autumn. The promise of the crisp fall air returning. Leaves turning to a blaze of golden fire and crows starting their seasonal song outside my window.
Darker days and hot coffees. Back to school for so many. I’ll be at a bus stop before I know it, on any chilly morning, with steam swirling up from my mug. Seeing the world finally painted in moodier tones, as I send my child off with sharp brand new pencils, and her special new clothes.
The AC will be removed from the window, the shorts put away. We’ll resume the ability to don a sweater, the pants will make a blessed return in our closet. I look forward to these things every year. I also look forward to my work morphing into fall. I work seasonally and autumn is a bountiful time to be creating.
This piece is just a bit of summer’s last breath. It was made on the kind of scorching day where everything was wilting beautifully altogether, and I wanted to capture that feeling before it faded into nothing.

Print Information
Anything listed in my main shop on an individual listing, is a Giclée print. These are are high quality, vibrant prints, produced on luxurious velvet matte paper.
The Giclée printing process results in stunning images, full of exquisite and luxurious detail. With seven dye-based inks (which offer a vast range of colors), this process retains even the finest elements of a given artwork. Since my photographs incorporate ample darkness and shadow, Giclée printing ensures that even the smallest details are captured, while offering a lower price point than an exhibition-quality fine art print.
Giclee Prints are Archival - 100 years, 200 in dark storage.
All prints come hand stamped on the back, with a care and recommendation card, as well as my customary thank you postcard and a bookmark.

Anything over 16 x 20 is also available as a limited edition, signed, exhibition quality print. Complete framed works are also available, in addition to other ready-to-hang work. Available on request, by contacting me HERE

I pack all my own orders, and I’m just one human person, so please be patient.

My order says it was delivered and it wasn't, or my order was damaged during shipping.
I offer Route package protection insurance, automatically toggled on, for every order. If you choose to remove it, you are acknowledging that if the order is lost or stolen, I am not liable and it will not be replaced. I cannot control packages once they are at the post office and beyond, but Route can! Route shipping protection insures your package against mis-delivery, theft, damage and more.
If your package is missing:
- Sometimes USPS marks items delivered a day early on accident. First I would recommend calling your local post office (not the main number) to check in about it. Usually it shows up or they can find it.
If you still do not have it, or you do have your order and it was damaged:
- File your claim with route, if you chose protection at checkout, and it will be re-sent at no cost to you. If it was a one of a kind or limited item, please reach out to me first to get a suitable replacement lined up.
My order is incorrect or is damaged
- Returns, exchanges or refunds are only given in the event of a fulfillment error on my end unless you used Route protection and can file a claim there. If I sent you the wrong item, contact me instead of filing a claim with Route,
- Please know that this is very small shop, and I am not able to accommodate returns, exchanges, or refunds for any other reason than my personal packing errors at this time.
- If you received the wrong item/s, it was my fault, and I would be happy to make it right. Just contact me with your order number and photos of what you received, and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
Do you ship internationally?
- Yes, but I am currently unable to ship to the UK due to new policies in place for collecting VAT.
