  • Heather Sundquist-Hall

    Now based in Central Texas, Heather has lived in Long Island, NY and Philadelphia, PA, with her work heavily influenced by narratives and detail.

    Heather's subjects serve as an attempt to preserve fleeting memories like souvenirs from a road trip.

  • Charmed Fox

    Jewel, the artist behind Charmed Fox, was born and raised in ATX and moved to NYC in 2003 to pursue photography. A few years later, inspired by the city’s skyline, she came up with a unique idea: photograph the buildings and turn them into an art piece on a T-shirt.

    In 2010, Jewel returned to Austin to reconnect with her roots and grow the brand. Her designs are inspired by the places she’s lived and loved, with a focus on creating pieces that feel expressive, wearable, and authentically local.

Do you sell frames?

Yes – in-store! Visit us at 1704 S. Congress to purchase a perfectly-sized gallery-style frame for your art! Frames are available in black, whitewash, and birch colorways, but our in-store stock can vary.

How should I unbox my art?

If you ordered a larger print, it will come rolled in a tube. To unbox, remove the print(s) from the tube and allow to lay flat on a large surface to help flatten before framing.
