A Peek into the Studio – Watercolor Floral Patterns

I heard somewhere the best way to combat the winter blues is to eat fruit and look at fresh flowers.  Well, I certainly have the fresh flower piece covered.  After a dreamy Spring and Summer season filled with cut blooms from my garden everywhere I looked, I was determined to stay inspired through the cold […]

A Peek into the Studio – Authentic Watercolor Wedding Invitations

Putting brush to invitation paper again an again multiplied by 100, 200 or 25, whatever the number may be on a given studio day, gives my soul peace and a promise of our continued authenticity in this whirlwind world of easily printed, poorly manufactured, appropriated and remodeled goods.  Kristy Rice – Neon Pink Watercolor Story […]

A Peek into the Studio – Who We Are and What We Do

So maybe your visit to the blog today is a first or perhaps one of many…to both I say thank you, thank you.  Writing this blog is a sort of catharsis for me and a way to journal the studio happenings but in a personal way.  I write this blog, no one else.  The words […]

A Peek into the Studio – Cape May, West Virginia and NYC Bound

A Peek into the Studio – Hand Painted Letterpress, Baroque Frames and Floral Bouquet with Critters

Today’s post is as varied as it’s title.  I’m proud everyday of not only the quality of work we create but also the variety.  Early on my art teacher, Sue Hand encouraged me to experiment with many different mediums and techniques.  Her suggestions stuck and to this day, myself and Jessica (my right hand when […]

A Peek into the Studio – It's a Pinterst World

Pinter-what?  By now, anyone who spends at least an hour online each day, knows about the lovely little not-so-secret Pinterest.  Actually, it seems EVERYONE is on Pinterest these days.  I call it the “useful time killer”, as spending 3 hours on picking and pinning can feel like 5 minutes.  At least after it all you […]

A Peek into the Studio – Paints, Palettes and Projects

Sometimes a simple act can lead to big things.  So I attribute my new watercolor palette to a lot of the gorgeousness going on at the studio as of late.  Call me crazy but nothing inspires me more that a white sheet of Arches and a palette full of fresh, new watercolor.  Soak it up. […]
