My buddy Max helped to create some FANCY jellies to decorate the studio! They’ll brighten up the cooler, shorter days ahead, and will remind us of summer walks along the beach as we hunker down for another New England winter.

It’s Little House mini calendar time! 2025 calendars are finished and ready to sell. This theme is already popular – someone at the print shop has given it two thumbs up!

I recently was asked to paint a picture of Toto, the tornado kitten, as a memorial gift for his owner. Toto passed away in November of 2023, but what an incredible life he had! I was honored to offer my talents to memorialize such a wonderful creature, and to say thank you to his owner, who opened his home and heart to him.

Little House Art Studio now has a full display unit at CC Lowell on Pleasant St. in Worcester!

Check. It. Out.

Spring has sprung, and new Little House greeting cards are now available at CC Lowell in Worcester. More news on that creative collaboration coming soon!

Thoughts of warm sunshine, longer days and green grass will carry us through the muddy days of March in New England. In the meantime, these tiny rabbit paintings are certain to lift spirits!

Get ready for the new year with this tiny calendar, created with all original artwork and packaged in a plastic case that doubles as a stand. It comes in handy on your desk or work space, and it also makes a great gift! You can find it at CC Lowell in Worcester, Kitchen Garden in Templeton and Dandelions in Barre, or contact me directly at pspielberg08@yahoo.com for shipping info.

Epoxy resin is smelly and messy to work with, but the end results can be really cool. These notebooks were made with the help of self-leveling platforms, which made things MUCH easier this time around. (The first time was a disaster and we won’t talk about it.) This enabled me to play with a number of experimental adornments such as metallic leaf flakes, rubber confetti bits, millefiori confetti and more! The bookmarks are thin wooden sheets with my Gelli prints mounted on top. There are so many crafty ideas to explore and not enough hours in the day! Check out C.C. Lowell in Worcester and Dandelions in Barre for some of these items.

…but this is finally finished! This has been a work in progress for what seems like an eternity. I’d peck away at it between other projects, and now I’m calling it DONE!

I’m a huge fan of Jon Batiste—his talent, creativity, joy and soulfulness, that I wanted to try to capture that in this piece. It’s my own interpretation of all that he brings to an audience, whether it’s a  packed concert hall or an individual listener wearing headphones. You can’t help but smile when you listen to his music!

Using a stock image for reference, I started with a base of a 36” x 24” canvas, onto which I collaged my own mono prints, which are embellished with flat, metallic and pearl finish acrylic paints using stencils, stamps, rollers, india ink and metallic spray paint. It’s a unique blend of materials that symbolizes all that Jon brings to his music.

Flour sack kitchen towels, hand-stamped with my own linocut images are some of the best sellers in shops that carry my work. This new batch is headed over to Dandelions in Barre later this week. SHOP SMALL! Stop by or shop online! https://dandelionsbarre.com/
