Introducing Studio Second Street: a Haven for Creativity and Love

Welcome to Studio Second Street, my online store. Here you will find a diverse collection of fine art prints and accessories curated from my latest projects.

The name of the store holds a special meaning for me. It’s a tribute to my grandmother’s home, a place that nurtured my creativity and love for art.

Nana was a role model for creative, minimalistic living. She taught me how to sew, and always had paper, pencils and crayons available for me.

I remember how her house smelled so wonderful from a crock of homemade potpourri that she kept in a corner of her kitchen. She taught me how to take the flowers from her garden and lay them to dry in the sun. Then we’d mix them into a big ceramic pot together.

I loved running my fingers through those dried flowers when she wasn’t looking and feel summer tickling my nose!

When I went to Nana’s house, I never wanted to leave. Today, I feel the same way about my art studio. It smells like linseed oil instead of flowers, but it still warms my heart to be in it.

I want Studio Second Street to be a warm and welcoming place for everyone.

I curate only my best work for inclusion in the shop, and rotate it regularly. I hope you’ll find something here that touches your spirit as profoundly as my grandmother’s home touched mine.
