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?

Turn it upside down. Stretch it. Shrink it. Make it two-dimensional. Make it move. Make it fly. Fold it. Use a different texture. Rearrange the elements. Make it look futuristic….

With each piece I create, I try to gain ideas and ask myself how I am going to follow thru and make the finished piece the most unique and interesting that it can be.

Inspired by everything from bauhaus graphic design, The Beatles, to Wes Anderson films.
I mainly screen print t-shirts, fabric, wood and paper. I also make backpacks and other bags using my own patterns and design.

Ashley: I create because I like things that don’t exist. I reuse things that have meaning to me, like skirts out of my Grandpa’s old work shirts. I print cards because I like working with my hands, and who hasn’t needed a Get Well Soon Broken Heart card?

Camille: I make things out of fabric: quilts, quiet books, and clock pillows for children. For adults: fabric box sets, Children Kids plushies, and Christmas collection including stockings, ornaments, wreathes, and Tiger Fire Christmas Album (in this case I made something out of music). I do it because I like creation.

I make modern paper cut silhouette images. Mostly of children and people. I have original pieces & also giclee prints of my most popular designs. The giclee prints are made of the highest quality archival ink and printed on somerset print making paper. My images and color palettes are very modern. The images I will have are of some of my giclee prints. You can find both giclee’s and originals at my etsy shop.

I’ve been working really hard these last few months to increase my selection. I’ll have-all new prints of never-before-seen girls and characters in time for this show, both as open and limited editions. I’ve got new necklace designs and have expanded my product selection into bookmarks, magnets, gift tags, stationery and notepads. I also plan to have ready unique, holiday-themed designs perfect for December. A few new cards have been added to the line as well, and adorable new frames have been found to house my prints and will be available; waiting and ready-to-hang. What fun! Come visit me!

I have three wonderful and amazing daughters, I started my business to celebrate my love and life with them. I love to make creations that celebrate being a girl, in all stages of life. My creations tend to slant toward the very essence of feminine. I started making fairy items, but I have moved on to unique hairclips, chandeliers, junk journals, vintage button bracelets, lampshades, painted vintage furniture, crowns and some wearable art. I always try to add vintage elements, lace, buttons, ribbon, old pictures; anything with a wonderful sense of history. My goal is to see someone’s eyes light up when they see what I have made!

Specializing in stationery (and a few other little odds and ends) that will lift the clouds of a rainy day, my hope is to create stationery that you will want to share with others. Visit me!

I am a graphic designer/illustrator by trade & I quit my full-time job a year ago to practice as an artist and to make my own products. All of the products I make are hand-illustrated. I letterpress print my own cards & art prints and screen print my own t-shirts in my garage. It’s everything I love and all I want to do…
