Read excerpt
I’m currently working on my 3rd Annual Holiday Art Collection, and I thought it might be fun to share a little more about it here.I started posting about the collection on my Substack feed a couple of weeks ago, and there’s been a little confusion about what exactly I’m talking about, which is totally fair.

I just wasn’t exactly sure how I wanted to tackle them.After a bit of experimenting, I eventually found a rhythm that worked for me.
