This summer has been a sublime immersion into the natural world around me.
The practice of walking and swimming combined with foraging, tasting, creating inks from plants and painting provided such a deep sensory experience.
It surprised me if I'm on honest. It cracked open an understanding of the precious world we live in, on a somatic level, feeling it in every sense and pore.
My paintings are an extension of that experience. A palette created with elderberry, black walnut, avocado, nettles, hickory and dock seed.
The plants around me guided the process and the paintings became a journey within.

I'm excited to continue now I'm back in Brooklyn and further explore the seasonal shifts and plants growing around me.
Stay tuned!

Notes from a field in Southwest France.

This past week, as I set my technology aside, I truly slowed down in ways I hadn't in a very long time. The art of practicing complete presence was thoroughly accomplished.
We were at my childhood home for the first time in 8 years. Memories lurking around every corner triggered through color, light and delicate scent.
Landscapes that hadn't changed one iota. Trails through woods teaming with moths and spiders, white chalky paths cutting through nodding sunflowers as far as the eye could see. Picking ripe plums to eat as we walked.
We floated in clear rivers and cobalt iridescent dragonfly alighted on our limbs.

I gathered plants and flowers to create and experiment with making inks. I called the project "a dye a day" - walnut, dock seed, hibiscus, sunflower petals and fig leaf.
Some were more successful than others but the process provided a deeper connection to the land around me.

Here's a selection of my paintings and favorite moments of my trip.

A quick studio update.
It's been a couple of weeks since FIELD + SUPPLY and the month leading up which was a wonderfully creative period. I began stretching and painting on canvas which has an extremely different texture and outcome to paper.
I feel as if I'm right at the beginning of this new medium and want hours to play and experiment but the Claudia Pearson business is pulling me in lots of exciting directions. I'm expanding the product collection for the highlineshopnyc, working on another fun collaboration and have some big news up my sleeve.
All will be revealed in due course.
And for now, my paintings sit here as a reminder to continue pushing my artistic boundaries.
I will share the canvas work soon and add them to my website to purchase.

What a year for collaborations!
You may remember, about 13 years ago (so probably not), my Dapper Dog series for West Elm.

Last year I was approached by , who started carrying my tea towels in 2025, to illustrate 3 new designs featuring our furry friends out there camping. I love this collection so much and now I'm happy to say, you can order them directly on my website.
