Who Are We?

Our Mission

To bring a smile to the world through playfulness. To encourage joy. To inspire other creators who produce uplifting work. To offer affordable art. To leaven the tension in our world with ripples of positivity.

Sue Sarah Gilbert - Artist & Owner

I use my art skills both to entertain and to offer reflections on life. Raised on fairy tales, children's illustrations and cartoons, I came of age during the 60s with its influx of pop art culture. My art has morphed into a creative synthesis of all of those influences. These days I work primarily digitally. It makes my art more available, less costly, and easily adaptable to a variety of products. 

Raised in Connecticut, I spent many years in Los Angeles where I attended ArtCenter College of Design and worked as an art assistant for a small greeting card company. I have called Seattle my home since 1992.
