This was the first large pencil drawing I did during my residency in Iceland. I had so much fun with this and hope to keep doing larger works in the future! This was made using ten sheets of backer board taped together. The scavenged surface made me feel comfortable being loose and taking risks with the drawing (and made it possible to fly it back home in my suitcase!)

While I mostly used my time in Iceland to work on larger pieces, I also made this little guy to test out a magenta underpainting in acrylic ink on wood panel before doing the final painting in gouache.

Heat waves.

An unexpected outcome of my month long residency in Iceland was making larger drawings in pencil. This was my second drawing (that started initially in ballpoint pen!) made using eight sheets backer board taped together, so I could get it back home easily. It was inspired by my love of how rich and green the moss gets around streams and sources of water.

I'm so excited to share this story I've spent the last year drawing, and for everyone to get to meet these characters in a new way. :) The rest of the chapter is here, enjoy!!

I was scanning some art today, and I realized that I never shared this piece! This one wasn't for a project, it was just for fun - and so of course I had to fill it with lots of stars and clouds

Prints available from June 2-10
