Seasonal Creativity

A winter artist studio reflection on a year of growth, renewal, and the unfolding of new work inside my Northern Idaho studio.

Celebrate the launch of the Twelve Days of Winter Collection—twelve words, three handmade pieces each, and one luminous winter story brought to life through collage, books, and artful design.

There’s a quiet beauty in waiting—especially in the studio. As my winter collection nears its unveiling, I’ve been reminded that anticipation isn’t just part of the creative process—it is the process.

Before unveiling Twelve Days: A Winter Collection, I wanted to share the art of gift presentation—how each handmade piece is wrapped with care, layered in paper and ribbon, and finished with meaning. This quiet ritual is as much a part of the story as the art itself.

Before the unveiling comes reflection. Twelve winter words — once scattered and separate — now gather as one: a story that became books, ornaments, and pagekeepers in the Twelve Days of Winter Collection.

The final words of the Twelve Days of Winter Collection—Ember, Glisten, and Snowfall—speak to the transformation of warmth into light, and light into stillness. Each reflects a moment in the season’s rhythm and the art of the handmade, where creativity glows softly and beauty settles into calm.

The next chapter of the Twelve Days of Winter explores three winter words — Echo, Radiant, and Gather. Each takes shape through texture, reflection, and connection, guiding the hand and heart toward the final reveal of the handmade collection.
