An Artist Travels Cross Country

November 8, 2025

My seventh cross country trip is winding down and I'm designing some linocut prints so I can start creating as soon as I get back to my studio. This design celebrates the spiritual vibes of the Joshua Trees growing throughout the Mojave Desert. Not only are they a wonderful sight to contemplate, they're especially important to the survival of desert wildlife. This is actually just one of several California-centric limited prints I'll be creating and posting.

And speaking of posting... I'm not very good with developing social media communities, although I've been more consistent with YouTube than any other option. BUT... I've just initiated a FREE Patreon account that I hope to dedicate substantial time and resources to. 

If anyone is interested in oil pastel art, printmaking, bespoke journals and other forms of art, I'll be uploading posts, photos, and videos to Patreon as frequently as possible - stuff that you can't find on YouTube, Facebook, Insta or elsewhere. 

The link to my Patreon is: https://www.patreon.com/cw/artiststephaniehoover.

For the foreseeable future, all Patreon content will be free. I may add more exclusive (paid) tiers in the future, but for now - I just don't have the bandwidth to start that plan, LOL. Your support as a FREE member would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. Look for my video on the creation of my linocut print "Mojave Moon" on November 18th. It will include footage not available to YouTube viewers!
