Welcome! I'm Mary - Fashion Designer, Illustrator, Craft-a-holic, Hoarder of Fonts, Sewing Enthusiast, Lover of Watercolor. So here I am - working quietly away in my farmhouse in Oak Grove, Minnesota. My workspace is usually littered with toys, chunk of fabrics and balls of thread. Currently I am dabbling in invitations and party supplies for Birthdays, Showers etc. Most (not all) of the artwork you see is drawn by me so you won't get that product anywhere else! My designs are inspired by many things - the wonderful people in my life, or the rabbit hole of inspiration that is the internet, specifically Pinterest and Instagram. I'm still amazed by the ease that social media allows us to share ideas and collaborate with other creative people! I like to focus on uplifting themes, sometimes motivational or inspiring; heartfelt sentiments or celebrating normal everyday love and life - but always playful and a little bit quirky! Depending on the complexity of the design, the whole process for one design can take upwards of 8 hours...Researching, choosing a font (the struggle is real!) and working, refining, getting frustrated and walking away (!) more refining. It's definitely a fine art that requires patience, but I feel like it's well worth it and I love it! I am truly thankful for the opportunity to share my work with others. I love what I do, and it makes me so happy to know that others do as well! Please message me if you have any questions Best Regards & Coca-Cola, Mary
