With the release of my newest Expectancy print, I wanted to share with you a behind the scenes the process I used to screen print it.

Last summer I was out in my yard picking through weeds and deadheading flowers, basic clean up that no one loves to do except probably me. It’s a brain break that allows me to be outside. I love puttering around in my yard. My neighbor thinks I’m crazy because I’m constantly pulling up plants and …
