Hello friend, and Happy August!

Exciting things have been afoot here at studio Jacque. On September 12, I will be launching my first-ever sale of some selective, limited edition fine art prints. This Fall line up will be available throughout the season until Winter, when a new set will be released (date TBD). This sale is in conjunction with the Riverfront Fine Arts Festival, an event hosted annually by the Northfield Arts Guild here in lovely Minnesota. This year’s festival is taking place entirely online and is a great way to support the region’s many fine artists in a year that has been particularly hard for artists trying to make a living doing their craft.

In anticipation of the sale and to help you get to know me a little bit, I will be regularly updating this blog will tales and tidbits from my studio and day-to-day life. Come for the artwork, stay for the ramblings…and maybe some wisdom and humor along the way.

To whet your appetite, here is a doodle I did at breakfast this morning:
