What is the Curious Art Creative?

It is Art for Curious Humans.

Colorful paper collage of abstract fish and bird illustrations with art supplies including a ruler, scissors, and markers nearby.

Curious Art Creative was built on the belief that creativity belongs to everyone. We create art experiences for curious humans — people who want to explore, experiment, make, learn, connect, and discover something new about themselves through creativity.

Curiosity looks good on your walls, too.

Our original artwork is created by hand in our studios by Darcy Ferrill and Shawn Trentlage. From playful linocut prints and curious creatures to paintings, mixed media, and one-of-a-kind pieces, each work carries a little personality—and usually a story.

See what’s waiting for you!

Our Studio Philosophy:

Come curious.

Experiment freely.

Laugh often.

Meet great people.

Leave with something you made—and a story to tell.

Bring Yourself. Bring a Friend. Bring the Whole Team. We’ll provide the Inspiration!
