Bob Ross Videos and my abstract view of the world are my inspiration. I love bold, unapologetic colors and chaotic scenes and patterns. I enjoy creating unconventional works of art that can be uncomfortable and messy yet still pretty. I enjoy painting sweet subjects such as animals and flowers, in odd, abstract and humorous ways.

My herbalism journey started 22 years ago when I was a young mom. I had a little difficulty getting pregnant after having my first baby and signed up for an herbalism class on the advice of a friend. I was immediately hooked. I’ve been learning ever since. I completed multiple courses, including a 2 year Master Herbalist course in 2019. (That almost didn’t happen thanks to Hurricane Michael, but I’m grateful the school worked with me to extend my completion deadline since we were 2 months no internet out here)

I split my time everyday between my gardens and my kitchen. I love to create herbal remedies and clean organic health and beauty products. I use ALL ORGANIC ingredients in every product, ALWAYS. I am privileged to be a folk healer, it’s my calling and I will leverage that privilege by only ever using sustainable ingredients in every product. After all, the purpose of herbal medicine is HEALING. Healing our bodies, our minds and the land. We cannot heal at the expense of the planet. Healing is more than medicine, it’s a mindset and a way of life where every living thing’s health is taken into consideration. Only then can we truly be well and whole. I’m excited to continue this journey here on my funny farm and in my community.

Brandie Dziegielis a printmaker and art educator based out of Panama City, FL. Raised a Navy brat, who relocated across the Southern United States over a dozentimes, she considers Florida to be ‘Home’. Since returning in 2016 after 12 years of living in the Southwest and Northeast, her connection to Florida’s natural world was solidified when she soon realized, as an adult, she was seeking out mangrove estuaries as refuge from suburbia, just as she did as a child. Florida’s unique ecosystems continue to nurture the curiosity that fuels her work. Her latest body of work functions as a form of social commentary, rooted in environmentalism andraises awareness for our threatened natural heritage. Each ilustration is a personal narrative filled with mythic elements and earthly creatures, greatly inspired by memory and the fleeting natural world.

Shannon Pitt

I’m 32 years old, California native but Florida grown and currently residing in Panama City, Fl. Though I pursued a degree in music, one of my main passions has always been in the visual arts. Once I had my daughter, she inspired me to get back into art and all things I truly love, which has lead me down the road of making polymer clay jewelry.

I’ve always had very sensitive ears and could never keep in earrings for longer than ten minutes without great irritation, either due to heaviness or poor metals. That’s why I started making earrings out of polymer clay. They are super lightweight, nickel-free and extremely versatile for my small business IsleyMoon DisCo, the name inspired from my daughter’s middle name “Isley”, her first word “Moon”, and “Disco” representing our favorite pastime of dance parties!

Frances Marie

I started Dose over a year ago. I’ve always had a passion for fashion. Went to school for design briefly in my younger years. Had a love for thrifting and vintage pieces since i was young. My mother and my grandmother heavily influenced me. I shopped only at thrifts stores in my high school years. I found my funky eccentric style. I knew i loved different elements of styling myself. The weirder the better. Whatever was different and not the normal was my way. I love finding old pieces that no one else has. Pieces put together that you normally wouldn’t see.

I really love what i do now. Picking curated fits from different eras is exciting and it’s a thrill of the find. I love to share it with everyone and anyone. I’m like your personal shopper and thrift hunter

And why do I create?… well I love spending my days playing with color to hopefully bring joy to other people!
The overarching goal of my work is to excite the senses, slow people down to enjoy visual discovery, and add pops of compelling color to everyday life!

Every piece is uniquely handmade with the intention of bringing joyful memories through texture and color to your home!

Ashley Troutman

Hi, I'm Ashley! I am Late Bloomer's manager and wedding coordinator! When I'm not designing with flowers, I'm usually painting or creating something inspired by them. My art journey is ever changing, and ever since I graduated I have finally been able to dive deeper into my art journey. A lil' bit about me: most of my life up until recently has been spent training and playing softball in order to earn a college scholarship. Everything I did or didn't do was because of softball, which had its pros and cons. I ended up earning a full scholarship to Rollins College where I studied anthropolgoy and archaeology. Freshman year, the pandemic hit, we were all sent home, and like many other people I found myself revisting old, forgotten hobbies. I've always had an interest in creating in general my whole life, but never had any time to do anything with it. Throughout the rest of college, I squeezed in any art I could while balancing being a student athlete. Now that I have graduated, I am fully diving into my art and am loving finding my style. From paintings to collages to digital drawings (I seriosuly can't seem to pick just one), I love creating pieces that are bright, funky, a lil bit retro sometimes, and inspired by nature (and disco balls).
