HAND DRAWN + LETTERPRESS PRINTED + HAND PAINTED INVITATIONS, ANNOUNCEMENTS + EPHEMERA:
All of my work starts as original, hand drawn art conceived from any inspiration you can imagine. After the drawings are realized, they are converted to 3 dimensional relief plates and letterpress printed on the finest 100% cotton printmaking papers available. Once the printing is done, each individual invitation, announcement, envelope, etc. is hand painted in whatever color(s) best suit the mood using vibrant, high-pigment watercolors, turning every finished piece into a unique work of art. Any individual image can then be recreated in a variety of sizes to provide you with an original, frameable work of art to commemorate your special occasion.

for multiple components (i.e. RSVP cards, envelopes, etc.)

example:
This is my wedding invitation suite, letterpress printed
in black + 2 hand painted watercolors

Each of the images on my site can be adapted to any number of different applications, such as:

  • Wedding invitations
  • Thank you cards
  • Save the dates
  • Baby announcements
  • Menus
  • Seating cards
  • Maps/direction cards
  • Personal stationery
  • Calling cards
  • Hangtags
  • Etc.

All of these designs can be mixed and matched to suit your taste and can be seemlessly related to one another through common colorways and type treatments.

If you haven't seen a drawing that specifically resonates with you but you have an idea, I would love to work with you to create something unique and special to you.
