Sustainability is at the forefront of our decision making when creating products. Although we are a small studio with less impact compared to that of large corporations, we minimize waste as much as possible in our operations. Product listings include notes on the sustainable features of each of our products. We are also proud to use EcoEnclose items for our shipping materials.

Environmental justice will always be interconnected with social justice and our love of locality does not preclude our national and international solidarity.  We’ll always continue to speak up for the issues we believe in, and do our best to amplify the voices of others.

We strive to ensure our paintings are as accurate a portrait as we can make of California’s species! In person observation and exploration are one of the key components of Tina's process, working from her own reference photos and experiences whenever possible. We are always learning and appreciate the support of our network of wildlife biologists who help us answer questions and observe species.

The more we know, the more we can do! We believe that a strong foundation of appreciation of what lives and grows around us can inspire and empower us to protect both our own local species as well as to recognize and support global struggles for the same.

We believe that joy is an act of resistance, and we need as much of both as we can get in our lives right now. We hope to provide more moments of joy, fun, and connection in your everyday life through our work, as a daily reminder of what should be fought for all living things.

Our artwork, writing and ideas are AI-Free and always will be! We actively choose to use services without AI features, or deactivate them whenever we can. While this is not always 100% possible on the internet today, we do our very best to avoid AI usage, as it is in conflict with both our personal and business values.
