Collection: Art Prints
Some of you already know that my mum is an artist. Some of you might already follow heron her Instagram account or bought some artwork from her:

This is her story:
As she was flagged as a vulnerable person due to her health issues, and had to isolate in her house because of Covid-19 for two years, her artwork became her only source of income. If you ever see stickers in any of our orders, it is actually her artwork.
I've tried to support her passion for art in all of the ways I could so she can turn it into a small business. Recently we started a collaboration for our Gilmore Girls Subscriptions where she designed extras for our Ultimate clubs and we finished the first installment - Winter. There was supposed to be artwork by her for the other 3 parts - Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Unfortunately, my mum has had a stroke on 17th March 2022 and it has affected her ability to talk, read, write and listen. I can see progress in her speech every single day since. I am very optimistic and convinced that with therapy, she will make a good recovery and will be able to continue with her art.
However, I don't know how long this road to recovery will take. Her Etsy shop is on holiday mode as she cannot manage it right now, so I have decided to print whatever of her artwork I can find on her computer and put it here on my website. All profits from items bought in this section will be directed to her bank account, just so she can keep having some kind of income while we are trying to make her better.
I hope you will enjoy her art as much as I do. I will be gradually adding more of her items here.
Thank you so much for your understanding. Now go and hug/call your mums if you can.
