2024 Since, in Vancouver

The short version.

I paint places. Every ornament, plate, print and mug on this site began as a small painting or drawing of somewhere real: a city block, a coastline, a corner someone asked me for by name. Nothing here is a stock photo run through a filter.

It started on Etsy in 2024, from an apartment in Vancouver, painting the cities people missed. The catalogue grew from there, and now runs in four directions at once: Delft blue willow-pattern ceramics, watercolour travel keepsakes, boho and mid century maps and abstracts, and graphic and pop portraits and typography. Different palettes, same hand, same instinct: find the place, then make it something you can hold.

Most people come here for a specific city, a place they lived or visited or are homesick for. Just as many come for the maps and abstracts and never think about travel at all. Both are the point. Christmas is the busiest season, ornaments most of all, but the studio paints all year, new places most weeks, often by request.
