What/who inspires you to create art?
In 2011 I started Mason J.A.R. Apparel. My own home based business. A
dream inspired by my son Mason and my love for fashion and art. When I'm
not chasing Mason I am working on developing new designs in my studio. Art
has played a huge role in developing me into the person I am today. I
learned block printing when I was just a child, from my father and
fellow artist. Over the years I have worked for a variety of print
studios, before and after college. I attended both the
Pennsylvania College of Art and Design and the School of Visual Arts
where I majored in textile design and children's book illustration.
After working for years doing visual merchandising I have returned to
what I love. Mason J.A.R. Apparel is dedicated to providing a
product that inspires and exposes our littlest of humans to art
responsibly. I hope you love our wearable art pieces as much as I love
creating them. "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors but rather borrow it from our children". -aboriginal proverb
A good friends daughter is named after Lilly's Cafe America and Busy Bee Toys, where I can always find a unique inspiring gift.
