I’m constantly in awe of the insanely talented artists we have in Des Moines. Every single one of them brings a unique and necessary perspective to our amazing city, and Paige from Dainty Knotts Art is one of my favorites. Watercolors, landscapes, portraits, and abstract ink are just a few of her talents; I was thrilled to connect with her both through family portraits and most recently through a Branding Session.
If she sounds familiar, I shared a while ago about how beautifully she illustrated my vision of Lavender. A little back story —> My studio name, Lav & Lime, was born from two characters; a 6 year old little girl named Lavender and her imaginary frog friend, Lime. In my head, Lavender was a curious, science-loving, rule-following, girly girl with a desire to make the world a better place, and Lime was her mischievous friend that took her outside of her box and into adventure. I had been planning to hire Paige to illustrate these characters for me when she reached out for family pictures - it was fate. My experience with her was magical. Her vision of Lavender and Lime was more than a drawing, she took the time to connect and create exactly what I didn't know I wanted.
How would I describe her work? A mix of boldness, whimsy, strong lines, and intention resulting in gorgeous, one-of-a-kind art pieces. She has a beautiful niche and it was such an honor to spend the afternoon with a fellow artist.
Y'all, Paige is the absolute BEST. The loveliest of human beings and I honestly could have kept her in the studio all day with me. Dainty Knotts Art, you’re so talented and a kindred spirit!
