Field Notes. Edition No. 2 - July

Welcome to Field Notes. Field Notes is part of my monthly Postcard Club. It is a reflective scene to inspire the month ahead. It’s a day worth remembering, not a to-do list, but rather the types of things worth noting. I hope that this July can be as well-worn and lived-in as we hope it can be.

JULY Moodboard - A Chalet off a Lake

There is a version of July that arrives already full. The slow build of spring is over, the fruit that started as blossom is heavy on the branch, and the whole month feels like the top of a long climb, the point where everything is as green and loud and alive as it is going to get. It is beautiful, and it is also a little unsettling, because you can feel that this is the peak, and that the tipping is already coming. This is our first full summer as a family of four, and the h

Recipe Series No. 2 - Torn Alpine Pancake

What is becoming embarassing to admit, I have never been to the alps. I have wanted to go for as long as I can remember. It has become the kind of wanting that shapes what I paint and what I read and, it turns out, what I cook. I have not yet stood in a high valley or sat down in a chalet at the end of a long day on a trail. So for now I do the next best thing, which is to make the food from the place I'm still longing for. Kaiserschmarrn has become a weekend routine for my

MAY Moodboard - Hues of Greens

There is a version of May that moves too fast to catch. The first green shoots arrive, and before you've had a chance to sit with them, summer is in full swing. I don’t have school age children yet, but I think when I do, May is going to feel even more like a rushing through the end month. The window between winter's last exhale and the full explosion of the season is narrow, and I think most of us blow past it without meaning to. This moodboard is my attempt to slow that d

Field Notes. Edition No. 1 - May

Welcome to Field Notes. This is a new series that is accompaning my Postcard Club. Field Notes is a reflective scene to inspire the month ahead. It’s a day worth remembering, not a to-do list, but rather the types of things worth writing down. May is a unique month. The window between the first shoots of green, and the explosion of summer is much faster than the other transitions throughout the year. Blink and one misses it. I think typically May is that moment when the

Recipe Series No. 1 - Minestrone

I have always loved to cook, but the skills and the honing of the craft to feel comfortable in what you're serving takes a lot of time. My minestrone recipe was the first time I felt like I had achieved the level of confidence in my cooking ability to allow myself to be given the label of a "good cook." Being a cook for me is not the primary label I identify with, creatively I'm an artist and a writer. But the throughline, and where my passions come together is in the way f

NOVEMBER Moodboard - Worth a Pause

LATE NOVEMBER — A SEASON UNFOLDING I’m finally posting this November moodboard I’ve been sitting on for the last month. There’s always this particular hinge at the end of November when the air changes before the calendar does. The trees have finished their final exhale, the fields are bare, and the light slips away before you’ve even managed to drink an afternoon coffee. And yet — this stretch isn’t quite winter. If one is diligent, it’s not fully holiday-touched either. It’

AUGUST Moodboard - Summer Camp

When I don’t put out a Monthly Moodboard, time seems to move faster than I can enjoy it. I originally made these just for myself, then started posting them on my blog from time to time. I know everything can feel a little cringy online, and sharing these has sometimes felt hard. Am I being too consumeristic? Is it authentic to post this kind of content on an art website? Or do people just find it annoying? It’s been a couple of months since my last moodboard, and I’ve realize
