One afternoon, I spent time paddling along the Pocomoke River. After weeks of admiring it from the banks, being on the water gave me a whole new perspective, with lilypads, reflections, and the life thriving in the cypress swamp all feeling so alive. While traveling, I often let the world guide me, embracing spontaneity and freedom, floating from place to place. Slowing down in Maryland reminded me of the grounding power of stillness, of being anchored by a place, by people, and by important memories.
To capture this feeling, I spent a slow afternoon carving and printing this Floating & Anchored postcard at a picnic table at Pocomoke River State Park, with a gorgeous view of the river! The reflections from the trees and shrubs along the riverbanks glowed green, inspiring the colors and textures of the print. I hope that when you see or hold this postcard, you feel rejuvenated, calm, and both free and grounded, like a quiet pause amid the motion of life. Sharing these moments of joy and reflection is why I make art in the first place, and it’s a joy to send a little piece of it out into the world.

In celebration of my birthday, I’m so excited to share my very first Etsy launch with you—my inaugural postcard drop! This set of ten postcards brings together my love for travel, connection, and the ritual of writing.
When I travel, I still make time to search for postcards in local shops—tiny works of art that hold the spirit of a place. Sitting down to write a quick note, describing where I’ve been or what I’ve seen, always feels like such a meaningful way to stay connected. That ritual comes from childhood. When my dad traveled for work, he would send short notes home. Getting mail from him; something small, just for us, was a tangible way to feel close even when he was far away. That experience shaped how I think about art and connection. Each postcard carries a trace of love, creativity, and presence, turning memories into art, ready to be shared.
