The earliest inspiration for Terrapin Arts came from growing up one of 4 siblings in an artistic family. At around age 5, my oldest sister created a club for the 3 sisters. Dubbed the Turtle Club, it was a place to explore nature, art, & crafts, often in combination. We looked up to our sister as a teacher and a model, the one who led the way in all things creative...

One's earliest influences seem to leave the deepest impressions. Through a long, circuitous, and somewhat mysterious process, these buried seeds of memory eventually germinated into a plan for a company that would design products using art images, and create opportunities for artists to license their work, both to our company, and to other manufacturers.

Terrapin Arts is dedicated to
artists, dreamers, gypsies,
seekers, and siblings everywhere.
