Beauty in the Unexpected

When creating art, we use an array of unusual materials. Some of our favorites include rodent bones from dissected owl pellets, hibiscus-dyed rabbit vertebrae, discarded resin teeth, and vintage postcards. Within any lost or forgotten item, we see opportunity for new life.

Welcome to life from our point of view

However big or small, we are dedicated to the art of creating and storytelling. Our mission is to connect you with the beauty that inspires wonder and joy in everyday life.

Sustainability and Ethics Practices

  • The world is full of wonder and inspiration. To protect these gifts, we attempt to practice art with sustainability and with mindfulness. We trust this will reflect our love for all big and small corners of the Earth that inspires us.

    • Frames, canvases, and oddity displays are purchased through secondhand and vintage retailers.

    • Natural materials are primarily collected by Open Eye Studio. Some exceptions include crystals and gems and a small portion of our taxidermy collection.

    • Retailers include small and local businesses.

    • Oddities including animal or insect parts are obtained ethically and are not harmed for the purpose of art.

    • Want to know more? Contact us with any questions! We are always learning and aiming to improve our practices.

Meet the Artists

Open Eye Studio was founded by a duo of artists, each with their own talents and insights. Read more about each artist below.

  • Avery began painting at an early age. They remember learning how to paint in acrylic over canvases from Goodwill. Trees, critters, and swirling scenes were a favorite subject the 7-year-old artist.

    Avery went on to spend time studying watercolor in college, and fell in love with another medium. These days, Avery hopes to never stop learning new ways to express their ever-changing view of the world.

    Avery loves camping around a good fire, exploring the outdoors, especially moss, and treasure hunting.

  • Specializing in gouache, August displays their love for nature in captivating landscapes and depictions of the world around us.

    When not creating, August can be found lost in a good book, enjoying a snack, and exploring the wilderness.
