Wain’s World welcomes the brilliant and intuitive Karolina Sato, artist, illustrator, and surface print designer, to our community. From the moment Karolina contacted us, we sensed a synchronicity. Born and raised in Poland, the Japanologist has called Tokyo home for over 20 years. In addition to her artistic talents, she and her husband founded an extraordinary creative agency specializing in experiential designs and future solutions for luxury brands. Throughout the year, Karolina delights in touring the seasonal landscapes throughout Japan, including plum blossoms in winter, the revered cherry blossoms in spring, and the fragrant osmanthus, bold chrysanthemums, and red maple leaves in autumn.

Jessa Bray of Cherrywood Lane is a witty, wildly talented preacher’s daughter and hands-on mother of three. A quintessential creative force, Jessa is fearless, fun, and guided by faith. She gracefully balances her thriving studio and family life with a commitment to giving to the greater good. The native Floridian resides on the Space Coast, where rockets blast off almost daily. She finds endless inspiration from her picturesque surroundings: beaches, vintage architecture, and citrus farms.

We warmly welcome Corinne Haig to Wain’s World. Corinne’s extensive art and licensing career is inspiring and impressive. Her designs grace a broad range of products, including dinnerware, textiles, giftware, and stationery. She finds great joy in producing artwork for products that people enjoy using in their daily lives. Creating art is Corinne’s lifelong pursuit and, along with making people happy, her ultimate purpose in life.

Wain’s World welcomes Katherine Herrell, an artist who truly radiates creativity and joy. Soon after meeting on Instagram, Liz and Katherine began collaborating. Prior to launching her own studio, Katherine honed her skills by working for over a decade as in-house artist and product designer with several well-known manufacturers. Her fresh sensibility and folky florals grace children’s clothing, home décor, and giftware. She loves spending time with her daughters, reading, and sipping lavender tea with honey.

Melissa Iwai, is a recipient of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Award for 2023!

We are delighted to welcome Claudia Bianchi to Wain’s World. Her twenty years of experience in the design industry is impressive as is her portfolio of inspired designs, florals, and patterns that grace everything from holiday to tabletop collections. In her off hours, the artist, athlete, and green thumb can be found tending her incredible organic garden, painting produce for an ongoing ‘Pick and Paint’ series and practicing yoga.

Each year, Wain’s World gives back to the creative community in honor of our valued business partners. In 2022, Wain’s World selected Child Crisis Arizona as the recipient of our annual holiday charitable gift.

All artist and agency royalty receipts from our Vive la Femme Calendar have been donated directly to No Means No Worldwide.

We are over the moon about our partnership with Juliet Meeks. She delights in creating art that adds a spark of joy to everyday life. Always inquisitive, the native New Orleanian delights in referencing her vast collection of vintage garden books for inspiration. Whether she is painting her signature florals, playful shapes, or exploring a new medium or form, Juliet’s art always inspires us.

We are enchanted by creative force Deborah Velasquez and welcome her to Wain’s World with open arms. Prolific and enthusiastic, Deborah is passionate about seeing her work on product in the marketplace, especially “where art and beauty meet lifestyle”. Her artwork and energy inspire. We especially love that she always sees the world through a “glass overflowing.”

We proudly welcome accomplished artist Beth Schneider to the Wain’s World family. Seeking inspiration from the everyday, Beth loves to draw and paint. Passionate about creating patterns and painting pieces that are “clean, fresh, and fun”, Beth delights in “bringing joy to consumers.” Her appealing artistry adorns a range of product categories: from textiles to stationery to housewares.

We swoon over Amy’s landscapes and know your consumers will, too!

When Liz Wain first reached out to Amy, there was an immediate connection. She discovered that Amy, like Liz, began her career as a textile designer. It felt like a perfect partnership. Amy’s landscapes and floral paintings offer a new artistic voice to Wain’s World.
