Patchouli & Paint offers artwork, jewelry, and more that are minimalist in style, but pretty enough to catch the eye!

I'm Lael, statistician turned stay at home mom and artist/illustrator. In the fall of 2020, I cast a vision for an online storefront where I could share my handcrafted goods with the world. In February 2021, I took a leap of faith and started my business.

My artwork is created on my iPad and then printed on high quality paper. Many prints feature beloved landmarks around my home state of Maryland, but I'm expanding into other subject matter as well. I try to use similar color palettes in both my jewelry and artwork so that my shop has a cohesive and unified feel. I'm mainly inspired by pastel colors and soft, earthy tones.

Each earring is handcrafted and made in small batches. I sometimes make pieces that are so unique, I can only make them once (literally one of a kind)! I strive to make designs that look different from mass-produced, manufactured jewelry.

Last year, I had the amazing honor of illustrating a book for the first time! You can find it here!

Over the last year, I've been building my brand by making sales online and in person at art festivals around the state. If this is how you found me, welcome! Please stay and have a look around.

I'd love to chat with you further, just shoot me a message on social media! You can also email me at patchouliandpaint [!at] gmail.com

I'm so excited to share my work with you, and I hope it brings you a bit of joy! You can find more designs I've made on Etsy and Instagram
