Anna Miller is a freelance artist based in Portland, Oregon. She is a printmaker, painter, surface designer, and illustrator.

Originally hailing from the rural farmland of southeastern Pennsylvania, Anna is firmly rooted in the history and folk art tradition of her regional birth community. Here in her Pacific Northwest home, Anna brings fresh life to Americana folk art in her contemporary patterns and designs.

Anna is particularly inspired by the lifelong art practice of her grandmother, Roma, who taught her the time-honored Pennsylvania-Dutch folk art of “fraktur” as a child. While certainly not always traditional, Anna’s flowers, leaves, birds, and patterns are often gestures to the classic folk art motifs passed down to her through generations.

Working in loose collections that revolve around one shape or idea, Anna often moves across mediums while following a single thread. Repeat patterns, textile prints, and folk illustration anchor much of her current work.

Anna illustrated our print Secret Garden and previous favorite Daisy Days - find more of her work here.

Greta Menzies is an artist and designer based in Wellington, NZ. Her multidisciplinary work reflect her interest in ideas of consciousness, belief and meaning-making. Greta is drawn to the grotesque as an aesthetic category with its tropes of doubleness, hybridity and metamorphosis, and as a mode of existential exploration. This comes with a sense of irreverence and subversive, absurd elements, often playing with opposites: beauty/ugly, male/female, reality/fantasy. Figuration is significant in her work.

Greta Menzies most current prints are Octo-Pants and Trippy, but she also designed Root Veggies, Hey Meow!, and lots of past and future prints as well!

Sara is a watercolor and digital surface pattern designer from Fort Collins Colorado where she lives with her 4 wild and free children and outdoorsy husband. To stay creative and in her flow state she spends time art journaling, moving her body and being playful.

She believes in fairies and the healing power of the sun. Pretty sure kindness can solve anything. Yes, she realizes how crazy it sounds.
