Panda's Palette

Panda's Palette was created as a future creative space centered around art, community, and hands-on creative experiences in downtown Idabel, Oklahoma.

While renovating the future brick-and-mortar studio, I began sharing tiny paintings, handmade paper goods, and pieces of the creative process online. What started as a small artistic outlet unexpectedly grew into a kind community of collectors and creators.

That journey eventually became The Lantern Post, a collectible mail club featuring my tiny art, story zines, paper goods, and curious little treasures inspired by wandering stories.

The heart behind Panda's Palette was shaped by my five daughters, whose creativity, humor, resilience, and personalities continue to influence the stories and meaning woven throughout this space. The name itself was inspired by my daughter Amanda, lovingly known as Panda, whose creative spirit continues to inspire so much of what I create. 

Today, Panda's Palette continues to grow both online and within the walls of the future studio, one story, one brush stroke, and one handmade piece at a time. 

I'm truly glad you're here.
