anne taintor – vintage revisited

Meet Anne Taintor.  We’ve carried her clever retro collage magnets since we first opened and they still continue to be very popular.  Her savvy one-liners mixed with vintage imaging always guarantees a good grin or giggle. 

A portion of her artist statement reads, "Anne graduated from Harvard in 1977 with a degree in Visual and Environmental Studies. After college, she focused on collage, and her work always incorporated a subtle humor and playfulness. For years, Anne’s art was more of a sideline than a full-time occupation. But in the late 1980s, she was a single mother searching for a way to spend more time at home with her daughter than her job in cartography permitted, and she began to concentrate on a new line of designs. The new collages combined vintage images with Anne’s own interpretation of what these men and women might really be thinking."

We carry a variety of Anne’s magnets, note pads and books on-line and in our stores. 

She is also the featured artist for the month of March which means you can enjoy 15% off all her designs. Just type ANNE for the coupon code during checkout.
