Crackers Art & Design is owned, operated, loved and nurtured by me,
artist-in-residence and chief crackpot, Sarah Epstein. I am mum
to two little fellas, who were my inspiration to pick up the
paintbrushes again and get 'cracking'!
And once
I started, I couldn't stop! So many little characters and ideas are
jostling for room in my head and I can't get them down onto the canvas
fast enough. Once my sons were born, I suddenly had someone to paint
them for and so I do - every chance I get!
Crackers
first started trading way back in 1998 as
a small market stall business in Sydney. I wasn't being fulfilled
creatively by my graphic design job and wanted to get involved with
something that got my hands dirty. I started creating colourful handpainted wooden gifts
and got such a feeling of satisfaction selling my wares to people who
really loved and enjoyed them.
I then moved into stationery items like greeting cards and notebooks, before
finding my passion for painting again. And now everything has come full
circle with my new characters being represented on canvases, wooden handpainted
gifts, clothing and stationery items.
You can read more
about the evolution of Crackers on my blog
Crackerland.
Enjoy your visit
to my site and come again soon. There's always new products being added...as
each new character escapes out of my head!
Warmest regards,
