About Us

Mission

Wing & Willow Studio exists to reduce waste, increase access to creative tools, and support community art.

By collecting gently used art and craft supplies and reselling them at affordable prices, we are able to then donate supplies to artists, students, and organizations in need. Our goal is to create a circular, community-powered system that supports imagination without the usual gatekeeping.

We believe creativity is a basic human need — not a luxury.

Founder

Wing & Willow Studio started the way a lot of beautiful messes do, with too many art supplies, a fierce love for community, and a refusal to throw anything away if it still had creative potential.

Founded by Tina, a maker, gardener, and chaos wrangler, Wing & Willow grew out of the belief that art should be accessible, joyful, and unreasonably affordable. After years of navigating burnout, chronic illness, and the nonprofit rollercoaster, she wanted something simpler, more sustainable, and deeply rooted in mutual aid. So she built it, on a foundation of donated paintbrushes and glitter.

Wing & Willow isn’t just a studio. It’s a love letter to reuse, to resilience, and to the creative weirdos who keep showing up to make things anyway.
