And our lucky winner of over $400 worth of art is… Kate (she’s a fan of the salty-and-sweet combo: chocolate-covered pretzels, salted caramel, trail mix, and the like). Congratulations, Kate!
There are so many exciting ways to bring art into your home, and we wanted to highlight a trio of very different artists whose work can each change the feel of a room. Below you’ll find a short introduction to each maker, photos of some of their pieces, and details on the giveaway prize and entry steps.
D is for Dino makes crisp, graphic prints with a playful edge—a hint of geekery woven into clean, modern designs. He’s a local artist who also happens to moonlight at our favorite candy shop, and his work is ideal for adding bold color and personality to a living room, nursery, or home office. If you win the gift card, you could pick a striking print to frame and hang above a sofa, lean on a shelf, or create a small gallery wall.
Against the Woodgrain blends reclaimed style with handmade quality. One standout piece they’re sharing in this giveaway is a vintage-inspired arrow light fixture that looks like it was salvaged from an old drive-in marquee. It’s actually handcrafted, but it brings that nostalgic, salvaged feel to any entryway, shop, or accent wall. This kind of mixed-media lighting can act as a focal point, drawing the eye and adding personality where a standard sconce might feel too ordinary.
Jessica Alpern Cuts Paper produces intricately hand-cut paper pieces that have a delicate, timeless charm. Each work feels crafted and intimate, perfect for framing as a singular art object or grouping several smaller cuts to create texture on a gallery wall. With the gift card to her shop, you could choose a bespoke paper cut that complements your decor—soft florals for a bedroom, graphic silhouettes for a hallway, or seasonal pieces to rotate throughout the year.
- PRIZE: One arrow light fixture from Against the Woodgrain, a $100 gift card to Jessica Alpern Cuts Paper, and a $100 gift card to D is for Dino. Combined, that’s more than $400 worth of original art and handmade design items.
