I have a brand new art print on sale in my website's shop. Its a gorgeous color print on heavy weight paper measuring 11" by 14".

These little jumping and flying buggers have spread year after year and recently they have been making news in New York and New Jersey. A portion of the proceeds of this beautiful art print will fund a donation to the Central Park Conservancy and if I sell enough a second donation will be made to Prospect Park as well.

To Celebrate Women's History Month and International Women's Day I have collaborated with my friend Kate to create this limited edition art print of National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman. I created the illustration and Kate set the text and letter-pressed it into the paper. These are a part of a limited edition and available on my website. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to a nonprofit that encourages literacy in New York City youth.
