Hi, I'M kelsey
I’m the artist, nature nerd, and person behind Acorn & Artisan.
I turn original illustrations inspired by wildflowers, strange little creatures, and very good bird jokes into colorful goods for people who are done choosing the sensible version of everything.
Because your home should feel like you.
A Little About Me
Before Acorn & Artisan, I studied and taught biology, which probably explains the ongoing fascination with birds, plants, insects, and all the weird details hiding in the natural world.
I’m also a mom, an enthusiastic collector of tiny objects, and someone who will absolutely stop what she is doing to look at a wildflower.
Acorn & Artisan grew from that mix of art, nature, humor, and a belief that everyday things do not have to be boring.
Made for Colorful Homes
Acorn & Artisan is for the tiny-joy collectors, wildflower stoppers, cool aunts, bird-joke enthusiasts, and anyone slowly replacing the beige things in their house with pieces that make them smile.
Here you’ll find colorful mugs, tea towels, art prints, stickers, pins, keychains, bandanas, and odd little birds made to bring more personality into ordinary days.
Nothing too serious. Just useful, joyful things for homes with a sense of humor.
Every Design Starts With a Drawing
Every Acorn & Artisan product begins as one of my original digital illustrations.
Most start with something I noticed, loved, or found funny—a strangely named bird, a Texas wildflower, an insect that deserves more attention, or an idea that made me laugh while I was drawing.
From there, the artwork becomes something you can hang on a wall, carry on your keys, stick on a water bottle, or leave sitting on the kitchen counter purely because it makes the room better.
Find Something That Feels Like You
Whether you came for the bird jokes, the wildflowers, the colorful kitchen things, or the tiny unnecessary object you suddenly cannot leave without, I’m glad you found your way here.
Designed in Texas for colorful homes everywhere.
