Solstice Blessings 2025

Dear Friends,

Happy solstice! I am looking forward to the new year and want to share with you some new happenings in the studio: 

In 2026, I am beginning a collaborative publishing project with writer and dear friend Sarah McColl (author of Joy Enough). In the fall of 2024, Sarah and I made a print edition of her essay Digging Deep, about the life and work of 1970s conceptual artist Agnes Denes—we loved doing it so much, we wanted to do more: thus Paper Choir.

Each Paper Choir subscription will include four quarterly mailings. In March, June, September and December of 2026, mailbox arrivals will include various risograph printed ephemera—zines, recipes, notecards, illustrated diaries, stickers, collaborative texts, posters, postcards, broadsides, etc.—featuring writing/illustrations from the two of us, and other voices we admire.

Our first publication is a personal essay about Lost Art—Sarah’s long running substack newsletter about the creative lives and works of (mostly) dead women. Subscribers will get this retrospective of some of the most interesting artists you may have never heard of. In many ways Paper Choir is an expansion of the Lost Art project.

If you love printed matter and getting beautiful things in the mail, I would be delighted if you considered subscribing yourself, or gifting a subscription to a friend. 

In other news:  

• In January, I will be teaching an Intro to Risograph Basics workshop at Verge Center for the Contemporary Arts in Sacramento—if you’re local and want to get certified to use their Riso, sign up! 

• I’ll also be teaching a photography zine workshop at the Colusa County Arts Council in the spring, as part of a season-long photography project called In the County (sign up, learn more). 

• I am opening my books to new clients in the new year, so if you have any design or illustration needs, hit me up.

• For those interested, I remodeled my portfolio website. 

• And, as always, you can find prints, cards, zines, etc. for purchase on in my shop.

Very best and happy holiday to you and yours!
