LOCAL STORIES, published August 19, 2024

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jill Pam & Shannon Baer.

Jill and Shannon, thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?

We are Jill and Shannon, two friends who create customized art pieces to delight the soul and remind you to appreciate the beauty of TREES, even after they’ve given up shading us, making clean air and providing safe haven.

Our friendship has always intersected around creativity. We started working together on large installments for local events in 2020. During a creative session for one such event, we found a passion for nature and began to collect tree ‘cookies’, hoping the rings and patterns could be captured for stage decor. Bringing Shannon’s work with linoleum block printing and Jill’s research and lab science background, we experimented on paper and canvas.

The event was a success and the stage prints were auctioned off to excited participants.

We honed the process, worked on the technique and customization and a year later, we’ve now opened our online shop.
