Avery Reed

Materials: Acrylic paint, colored pencils, posca pens Bio: Avery Reed is an illustrator and designer based in midcoast Maine. Each of her illustrations, patterns, and stories celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the laughter of children. Drawn to images of the ocean, garden, and forest, Avery approaches these subjects with the same enthusiasm as her eight-year-old self once built fairy houses and scavenged the rocky coast for seaglass. Statement: To build a home, raise a family, host friends for dinner—our lives are filled with such fleeting moments of abundance and beauty, just like the poppy tossing its head in the wind.
