The artwork in this collection was created by hand, during the long days of Spring, 2020. I had moved with my family to the Catskill Mountains and was recovering from covid. I had not yet shut my studio in Manhattan, thinking that I would return imminently, and had none of my digital drawing tools or equipment with me. I had been considering the idea of creating a fabric collection with hand inked and painted artwork for some time. I was interested in the idea that advances in digitally printed fabric meant that I was not limited to working with solid masses of color. Plot twist! Technology was giving me the opportunity to work by hand!

I turned a guest room into a makeshift studio and put my desk in front of an enormous second story window. We didn't have a screen for the window, but I worked with it open anyway, looking out over the forest that surrounds our house. I had ordered gouache paints, colored pencils and new brushes, and was loving the new mediums. Insects were constantly dropping by and checking on me.

One afternoon, on a particularly lovely day, I was sitting at my desk painting a large wild rose. I heard something come into the window, but was very focused on my work, and did not immediately look up. I assumed that it was a wasp or a bee, because there was a soft buzzing sound just above my forehead.

When it persisted, I looked up, and found myself face to face with a hummingbird, hovering above my painting, looking first at me, then down at the rose, then back at me. When he realized that it wasn’t a real flower, he turned and flew away, out into the spring sunshine.
I know that this sounds like a tall tale, but it isn’t. I think that moment will stay with me forever, even though most of the last three years feels like a strange blur.

I created this collection... with kids’ rooms in mind: bedding, curtains, big squishy pillows, with a cast of characters inspired by the Catskills and my native state, Vermont. I wanted soft, quiet scenes of sleeping kittens and grazing ponies, setting the tone for safe, peaceful spaces like the ones we’ve done our best to create for our families.
