This is the gorgeous art book that I worked on for months when we first moved to Salt Spring Island. It is finally out in the world and it is AMAZING. I had the great pleasure of working closely with Lisa Lipsett (the author, artist, and all around incredible woman) and as a designer it was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. Happy clients and a positive working relationship, yes it is possible. :)

Congratulations Lisa! You can get your own copy of her book online here and on amazon here.

If you live on Salt Spring Island you can also get your own copy from Watermark Books.
