My Materials

Commitment to Sustainability

It’s not easy navigating a consumerist world as a small business trying to do better than profit-focused-mega-corporations. I try my best to minimize waste in my art-making practices and try to use eco-friendly and/or ethically sourced materials. Here are a few things I do to treat our planet kindly (with resources so you can, too!):

• Use plant-based compostable plastic sleeves (ClearBags) for prints on paper
• Use recycled & recyclable shipping mailers (EcoEnclose)
• Use recyclable glassine bags for extra protection while shipping (EcoEnclose)
• Upcycle materials such as thrifted or hand-me-down yarn for fiber art
• Use 100% cotton t-shirt blanks (Bella+Canvas)
• Minimize plastic in my art and packaging
• Print on recyclable matte photo paper
• Outsource stickers so they can be compostable and waterproof (StickerIt)
• Use natural materials whenever possible like cotton, burlap/twine, cardboard, paper, wood, etc.
• Support other small businesses with similar dedications!
• Remember, simply supporting any small business and shopping local is inherently more environmentally friendly, and it stimulates local economy!
