About

Who knew a musty old 1970's book about paper crafts for kids would one day lead to a life obsession with utilizing paper in everything? Though I formally started Pigsey Art in 2007, I have been making items out of paper for others my whole life. From my youth of creating paper toys and selling them to my siblings for 50 cents a piece to my adult years of handbinding journals for friends, I have always known paper was my future. Making it formally into a business one day seemed inevitable.

As a one-woman business based out of Austin, Texas, I've dedicated Pigsey Art to showcasing paper at it's best. A love of writing should be continued to be cultivated and I hope to do so by producing quality journals and home goods inspired by books and paper.

Participating in art shows around Austin is easily my favourite part of owning a handmade business. I love meeting and visiting with customers while collectively geeking out over writing and books. Austin is such a fantastic town that really appreciates carefully curated handmade goods.

The arrival of two piglets in the last few years has certainly slowed down Pigsey Art, but making journals is in my blood. I'll never lose the thrill of fresh paper under my hands or pouring through antique books full of illustrations from days past.
