Atlanta artists. A world of possibility.
A digital
gallery?
Absolutely. A free place to discover Atlanta artists, get to know the people behind the work, and find a piece of their story that belongs in yours.
Thread & Flash began with apparel. Then an opportunity with our print partner, Prodigi, made me stop and look at everything art could become. Paintings. Prints. Something for your wall, your morning coffee, or your favorite hoodie. We had been thinking far too small.
So we’re opening that idea up: an online art gallery and store rooted in Atlanta, with room for all kinds of creativity and an audience anywhere in the world. Come look around. You don’t have to buy a thing to belong here.
Here’s how I got here ↓
01 / The creative lifeNever just
Never just
one medium.
I’ve always been an entrepreneur, and I’ve always been creative. I knew I’d eventually find a way to bring together the things I’m good at and the things I love. I just wouldn’t have guessed it would look like this.
I’ve gone in so many directions that I could never create in only one medium. Clay, pencils, acrylics, pottery. Tufting? Kick ass. Glassblowing, candle making, wood burning. Give me an opportunity to make something, on my own or around a table with other people, and I’m happy to be there.
All of it has a place. The painting in a studio. The mural on the next building. The person in the country turning logs into animals with a chainsaw. Creativity doesn’t need to fit into one kind of gallery to matter.
For me, that love of art has always included tattoos. I’m personally obsessed with American traditional: the bold lines, the unmistakable shapes, the way a simple image can carry a whole life. My tattoos mark the people, places, joy, pain, and turning points I’ve carried with me. They tell my story, and that story is still being written.
02 / The journeyStill here.
Still here.
Still becoming.
That journey has ultimately led me to a spiritual life in recovery. It’s a chapter I hold close, and one I continue to live each day.
Recovery hasn’t erased the chapters that came before it. They’re still part of my story. But there is room beside them for gratitude, love, and a different way forward. There is room to grow without pretending I’ve always been the person I am today.
That’s part of what tattoos mean to me. A piece can carry a difficult memory and still be beautiful. It can remind me where I’ve been while leaving space for where I’m going. I don’t have to have a perfect story to tell an honest one.
03 / The purposeA piece of me.
A piece of me.
A piece of you.
That’s what I want Thread & Flash to offer: a place for Atlanta artists of all kinds to share what they make and the lives behind it. Paintings, drawings, prints, handmade pieces, pop-ups, and ideas that haven’t found their form yet.
When an artist shares a piece, they’re giving us something of themselves. Their experiences. Their imagination. Their love. Their way of making sense of the world. When it speaks to you, you bring your own meaning to it. Their story and yours meet.
Maybe you fall in love with the original. Maybe the print finds a home on your wall. Maybe that same artwork becomes the hoodie you live in, the tumbler you reach for, or the vase that makes a room feel like you. Each is another way for a story to keep going.
The person behind the work should always be part of that connection. Our artist features and digital galleries give you a place to meet them, explore their work, and shop the pieces they share with us.
What connects us
“You don’t have to live the same story
to find a piece of yourself in someone else’s.”
A little recognition. A new conversation. A story that becomes part of your own.
04 / From Atlanta, outwardLocal roots.
Local roots.
Global reach.
I also run a marketing agency. This brings those skills into the same room as everything I love about making things: helping artists present their work, create digital listings, and connect with the people who will love it.
With our print and production partners, we can explore high-quality mockups and ways to bring approved artwork to life. Prints and apparel are part of that picture. Tumblers, hoodies, pots, vases, and other everyday objects are possibilities we want to develop with our artists, one piece at a time.
Our ambition is to carry those collections beyond this gallery through Google and major marketplaces such as Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, and TikTok. More places to be discovered. More chances for an artist’s message, love, story, and work to reach someone it matters to.
What’s available today is shown in each artist’s gallery and product listings. If an artwork has no price, or you can picture it on something else, get in touch. We’ll explore the possibilities with the artist and our production partners.
05 / A little closerStop.
Stop.
Look.
Feel something.
What if every one of us stopped to really look at the next mural we walked past? Pulled over for the person carving animals with a chainsaw? Went to a local showing? Bought something because it meant something?
What if we shared a little more of the joy, and all the other feelings, that come from creating things?
I believe that when we use pieces of each other’s stories to create new stories of our own, we bring the world a little closer together. A little more connected. A little happier.
You don’t need tattoos, a particular background, or a story like mine. Just curiosity, and a little room for something to move you.
The next chapter is something we get to make together.

The people behind the pieces
Meet the artists.
A quieter point of view
elise
Considered lines, softer colors, and pieces with room for your own meaning. Quiet by design.
Respect for the person behind the work
Created together.
Shared equally.
Connection also means making sure artists share in what their work earns. For our artist collaboration collections, we split the profit 50/50 with the artist.
The artist gets credit, a fair share, and another person carrying their work into the world.
The split applies to profit after costs, not the full selling price.
Atlanta artist? Let’s talkA few things to know.
Is the digital gallery free to visit?
Yes. You’re welcome to browse, discover artists, and enjoy the work without buying anything. Items offered for sale have their own prices.
What does Atlanta only mean?
Atlanta is the focus of our artist community. The gallery is open to visitors everywhere. Shipping availability depends on the product and destination shown at checkout.
Can I buy the original artwork?
Originals are available to purchase only when a listing specifically offers the original. A print or an art-inspired product is a separate piece. If the artwork you love has no price or original listing, contact us to ask about availability or a reproduction.
Can artwork become something custom?
Tell us the artwork and object you have in mind. We’ll discuss artist approval, a mockup, production options, and pricing before anything is made. Availability depends on the piece and the product.
Where can I shop the work?
Start with the artist galleries here at Thread & Flash. Our wider marketplace plans include Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, and TikTok, alongside discovery through Google. Individual listings will show what is available as those channels develop.
Does 50/50 mean half of the selling price?
No. For artist collaboration collections, the 50/50 split applies to profit after costs, not the full selling price.
How was the artwork on this page made?
The swallow-and-heart illustration is AI-assisted brand artwork. The founder’s portrait uses his real photograph with an edited background. Individual artist galleries identify the work shown there.
