MaryGold Tales Bandanas have arrived!

While wandering through the meadows and taking your time on the trails you’ll find wee snails, hopping bunnies, fluttery moths and blooming wildflowers. The inspiration behind my sweet bandanas isn’t just whimsical, but snapshots from my real life wanderings.

Use them to tie your hair back, make a foraging pouch, or wipe sweat from your brow after working in the garden.

Truly light enough to drape and tie and tough enough for the outdoors. You’ll have this wearable piece of art forever.

The Rainbow Trout collection

Ms. Rainbow trout was painted on a camping trip up at Baker Lake this last spring. While I was sitting by the creek watching the water run by, I thought about the Rainbow trout swimming up stream facing the current, always moving forward. I daydreamed about the hurdles I have recently overcome and how mother nature knows just what we need to do to grow and sustain this beautiful life.

Like the Rainbow Trout, turn and face the current and swim proudly into the next journey.

The Big Juicy Burger Collection

She’s juicy!

I painted this little delight on my artist residency and was craving a burger…can you tell? Sometimes a big ole cheese burger just hits the spot! This art print is available as a single burger or make it a meal by adding the side of fries and chocolate chip mint ice cream in a waffle cone. Okay, now I am really hungry, get them while they’re hot!
