It's that time of year when the garden is finally showing real signs of life - both plants and insects. This painting celebrates the perfect spot of nature I've created in my own back yard.

As a bookbinder, I enjoy making hand-cut and hand-bound bespoke journals and notebooks featuring my own art and unique designs. As you can imagine, I've created a fairly substantial inventory - but I've finally started uploading images and descriptions to my online store.
My most recent bespoke notebook is based on a favorite photo I took in Hershey, Pennsylvania. I call it "Kisses from Hershey." The video shows its creation - from art concept to finished product.
I'm offering a limited edition of 20 copies of this notebook. Learn more here.
Joshua Trees Linocut Print Design, ©2025 Stephanie Hoover
As an artist, my first instinct (of course) is to commemorate important things with art. In that vein, I'm using inspiration from our seventh cross-country trip to create a linocut print series of our six favorite sights in California: the Joshua Trees in the Mojave Desert, the Golden Hills, the vineyards of Napa, South Lake Tahoe, the infamous Donner Pass and the iconic Highway 101. No idea how long it will take me to design, cut and print all six linocut prints, but progress posts and videos will soon be available here and on my YouTube channel, @stephaniehooverart.
In late April 2025 I started a YouTube channel where I post free demos and process videos of my art and printmaking. I am so appreciative of the nearly 40,000 views received to date. Exposure is invaluable to the growth of my small art business so if you're interested in my content, please subscribe to my channel.
