Hi, I am Mary.
I grew up on the Southern Coast of Oregon and started drawing at a very early age, I was shy and introverted and found creating colorful illustrations comforting and I would lose all track of time. I wrote stories about bunnies and wildlife, spending my days dreaming of who must live among the Marigolds. I studied esthetics and became a make up artist for 2 decades before picking up a paintbrush and returning to the craft that makes me the happiest.
All the original illustrations are made with pencil, watercolor paints and arches paper. I then create, stamp, sign & pack up each order just for you! Everything is printed in-house or locally sourced from other small family owned businesses.
My studio is nestled on our small one acre farm in Ferndale, Washington. I am surrounded by my loving family and my spoiled dog, cats, bearded dragon, horse and mini donkey! I start my day with a cup of coffee and short walk to the studio to plan my out my orders. Every order I receive is methodically thought about and designed with you in mind, with so much love and joy-I am and will always be eternally grateful for every piece that finds it’s way to your home.
Find joy in the little things, leap when you get the chance and follow that gut of yours…there’s always a story waiting to be told.
