I am the artist behind Paintdust, currently based in Asheville, NC. I've been running this shop full time since 2020, but started it in 2018 (the before times.) Back then, all I had three sticker designs and a dream. You couldn't stop me after that.

While I do consider Paintdust a small business, I am an artist first and foremost. Everything I make and sell here includes a small piece of my soul. I strive to make art that is inspiring, comforting, and tells its own story. Everything here is hand drawn and designed by me, likely at 2 in the morning when my best ideas strike. I love designing products that are expressive and a little bit silly.

Much of my inspiration comes from things I enjoyed through childhood which is why nostalgia is still such a key component to my brand. Even so, I am always changing and experimenting with new ideas in my work! My shop continues to grow alongside me. It's like a little gallery of all the things I've loved.

If you're reading this, I hope something I've made sparked some joy in your day. It is so important to hold onto creativity and whimsy. Especially during times when others try to dampen it.
