Watercolour art and hand-painted ornaments
Thao paints in watercolour in Nanaimo, with gouache and mixed media where she wants it. Whales carrying sleeping children, fairies in the mushrooms, orcas turning through a wave. The natural world as a child would picture it.
Most of what she brings is printed from those originals. Greeting cards, art prints, tea towels, baby onesies and children’s t-shirts, and a 2027 calendar.
The wooden ornaments are the exception. Those are painted by hand, one at a time, so no two come out the same.
