Art at home

May 1, 2020 art show, illustration, shop

It’s been an interesting time to be a self-employed artist during a global pandemic. Different festivals, signings, and conferences I was to participate in have been cancelled, my art show openings have gone virtual, my online shop has taken the center stage completely — but I’m safe and well and enjoying working on my next book while enjoying online offerings like Creative Mornings Virtual events and Cave Day. I hope you are as well!

Self Care gift sets are new in the shop! Send an assortment of products to uplift during the Stay at Home order!I appreciate your support of my small business, which now also offers gift cards.

and you can also see one of my paintings come together as a TikTok, where I have been posting pretty often as well, here. Follow me on TikTok @boygirlparty

Amidst the pandemic, I’ve switched gears to offering more content online for people stuck at home. Every day for 30 days, I drew and posted a Stay-at-Home themed coloring sheet to my Instagram stories. If you missed them, my supporters on Patreon have access to PDF downloads of these sheets!

My publisher Roost Books is now offering a free download of the Spring chapter of I Love Dirt!: 52 activities for families to cultivate a love of nature. Many activities can be done with limited access to the outdoors.
Last, but not least, my picture books Little Muir’s Night and She Wanted to be Haunted can now be pre-ordered through your favorite indie bookstore! (Or in the case of Little Muir’s Night, ordered directly from Yosemite!)

She Wanted to be Haunted comes out on July 7th! Little Muir’s Night comes out August 11th (or is available online now from Yosemite during the National Park closures. Support your parks!)
