Print - Lakshmi

I'm an artist and fabric + surface pattern designer in Portland, Oregon. I create colorful, magically uplifting artwork and products intended to inspire others to live courageous, honest, hope-filled lives. Many of my products are created right in my own studio! Some are manufactured overseas in larger quantities, like my oracle cards and journals. I started my business when I was just 22 years old and have now been a working artist for nearly 2 decades. My work is a balm for my soul! I hope it will be for your soul + your customers' souls, too. I've found that life can be messy. Sometimes beautiful, occasionally heart-breaking, most often complex, I find that art smooths out the rough edges, making the journey just a little lighter. Sharing my designs with others makes me feel connected. And it comforts me to know that my work might make people feel a little more connected, too. Everything I make is meant to help you: – Trust your inner voice. – Follow your heart. – Feel a little bit brighter + a little bit less alone. – Get through your day and keep going. In addition to manufacturing my own products, I license my artwork to others for branded products such as fabric, stationery, puzzles, books, and more. And I also teach online classes on topics like pattern design, color, and intuitive art-making. Every day is an opportunity to dig deep, get real, and create something meaningful. Welcome to my colorful world!
