Folk art paintings and prints

After looking at countless Dutch and Swiss graphic design work from the 1950 – 60’s, I got insanely inspired to design and screen print up quite a few art posters that all have elements found in those vintage sources.

All of the posters are printed by hand using soy based screen printing ink.

When I was little, I would ask my mom to draw me pictures of ‘merdalmations’ (dalmation + mermaid tail). Since then I’ve graduated from byu in visual arts and am now teaching stress management at UVU and practicing art therapy at the U of U hospital. Art is a form of communication and this is my visual language. Can you hear me?

I focus on art cards and prints created from my illustrations and paintings, but also use my “girls” to make art dolls, hairpins, pendants and other things. I’ve been working the last little while to even further improve my giclée prints (new pretty paper!) and make available BIGGER print sizes (I’m so excited!). I hope to bring many new designs and not-yet-seen prints to the spring show.

This year I am making lots of framed paintings of fish and birds. I also have made a series of wooden bird puzzles (which I don’t have a photo of at the moment). I will have some letterpress items with my art on them as well, and hopefully some little felted animals.

Mike and Alma Loveland are a husband and wife team who work together on various projects. Alma is more on the graphic art end, Mike is more on the traditional art end. Together they offer a fun, functional, and eclectic mix of products.

Lately I’ve been drawing pictures, mostly of forests and mushrooms and little girls and robots…things that make me happy! I will have framed pictures for sale, and have also transferred some drawings to screens to print. I will be printing deer, elephants, mushrooms and robots onto stockings, leggings, dresses, scarves and cards. I’ll probably find ways to incorporate vintage trimmings and buttons onto them, as I’ve been stocking up. I can’t wait!

When I was little, I would ask my mom to draw me pictures of ‘merdalmations’ (dalmation + mermaid tail). Since then I’ve graduated from BYU in visual arts, emphasizing in painting and drawing. In June, I finished my Master’s degree in Art Therapy Counseling from Marylhurst University. Today, I continue to paint and make prints of my artwork. Art is a form of communication and this is my visual language. Can you hear me?
