Yard Studies - Entry 6 🌿

Featuring three more beautiful spring arrivals from around the yard: red tulip, crabapple blossom, and forget-me-not!

🌷 Red Tulip [Tulipa gesneriana]

A classic symbol of deep love, passion, and devotion. Tulips originated in Central Asia and became especially celebrated during the Dutch "Tulip Mania" of the 1600s. Their simple, elegant form has made them one of the world's most beloved spring flowers.

🌸 Crabapple Blossom [Malus]

These delicate blooms arrive for only a brief window each spring, making them a beautiful reminder of impermanence and appreciating the present moment. Crabapple blossoms are often associated with renewal, beauty, abundance, and new beginnings. They also provide an important early-season food source for pollinators.

💙 Forget-Me-Not [Myosotis sylvatica]

Perhaps one of the most meaningful flowers by name alone, forget-me-nots have long symbolized remembrance, enduring connection, loyalty, and lasting affection. Their tiny blue flowers may be small, but they often create stunning carpets of color when allowed to spread naturally.

Thanks for checking out a few more observations from my sketchbook! I still have LOTS to catch up on as I'm very fortunate to have such a vibrant yard rich in sooo many beautiful herbs, flowers, and weeds, but I'll get around to everything slowly but surely 🙂

Calling all local artists, this one’s for you!🎨

Applications are now open for the new Monthly Featured Artist Program at 43 Artisan Co., beginning this July.

Each month, one artist will be selected to showcase their original 2D and/or 3D artwork within a dedicated display space inside the boutique, introducing their work to new audiences, collectors, and supporters throughout our region.

And if you’re sitting there wondering whether your work is “good enough” or whether you’re “ready” to apply, I hope you’ll consider submitting anyway.

Some of the most meaningful opportunities I’ve experienced as an artist happened because I chose to put myself out there before I felt fully ready.

This program is intended to be welcoming, encouraging, and supportive of artists at all stages of their creative journey.

✨ Dedicated display space within the boutique
✨ Promotion across 43 Artisan Co. platforms
✨ Exposure to weekly in-store traffic
✨ Optional artwork sales opportunities
✨ Connection with new audiences and collectors

You can find the application link in my bio and full program details on the Monthly Featured Artist Program page of the 43 Artisan Co. website.

The application only takes a few minutes to complete, and if you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I can’t wait to see your work 💚

Introducing something new to 43 Artisan Co.🎨

Beginning in July, 43 Artisan Co. will be opening dedicated space within the boutique each month for a rotating featured artist showcase featuring original 2D and 3D artwork from talented creatives within our region.

There are so many incredibly talented creatives in our areas whose work deserves to be experienced, shared, talked about, and celebrated! My intention with this program is to provide space for selected artists to display their work in a safe, welcoming environment where they can connect with new audiences who truly appreciate the magic of locally-made.

I also think it’ll just be fun for our guests to continue to discover and appreciate new-to-them artists whenever they visit🤷🏻‍♀️

You can find the application at my link in the comments on this post, in my bio, or review the full program info on the Monthly Featured Artist Program page on the 43 Artisan Co. site.

Here’s a few notes on what selected artists will receive:
✍️ Dedicated display space within the store
✍️ Promotion across 43 Artisan Co. social media and website platforms
✍️ Exposure to consistent weekly in-store traffic along Route 19
✍️ Opportunities to sell artwork directly through the boutique (optional)
✍️ A chance to introduce their work to new collectors and supporters

Whether you’re an emerging artist looking for visibility or an established creative wanting to share a new body of work, I would be happy to hear from you. 🙂

Yard Studies - Entry 5🌱

This lil entry of observational studies I did in my sketchbook features three little plants that were actually present in my yard a few weeks back (I have some catching up to do!) lungwort, periwinkle, and violet.

🌿 Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis)
Known for its spotted leaves and clusters of pink, purple, and blue flowers, lungwort is one of the earlier spring bloomers and has historically been associated with herbal practices relating to respiratory health.

🌿 Common Periwinkle (Vinca minor)
A hardy trailing groundcover recognized for its soft violet-blue flowers and glossy evergreen leaves. Periwinkle is often associated with resilience, remembrance, and enduring connection.

🌿 Wild Violet (Viola sororia)
Wild violets are native to much of North America and are known to symbolize humility, faithfulness, and quiet strength. They’re also an important early nectar source for pollinators.

I’m already in the midst of my next entry, and my to do list for this series continues to grow by the day as more and more beautiful flowers and weeds continue to present themselves around 43 Artisan Co. 😊
