Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I get your products?
There are 3 ways you can purchase my products currently.
1. Journals and Cards are available on my Etsy shop, Click here for the link. If you like a piece that I've done but haven't put on products yet or you want to work on a custom piece or pattern you can always contact me and we can work something out.
2. I am always participating in local Connecticut craft and art markets. Click here for the link to my current show schedule.
3. Select products are available at Sharing the Light Wholistic Center in Avon, CT
Are your products made by you?
I hand draw all the designs for my prints and products. Then I scan them into the computer and format the design to each product or create a pattern for each product.
I partner with 3 different companies in order to make the variety of products that I have. Those companies are:
District White Label who prints my cards and journals
Printed Mint who prints my mugs
and SkyLine Art Prints who prints my fine art prints
Did you go to school for art?
I went to an art school, but I did not go to school for art. I have an associates degree in Interior Designs from Norwalk Community College and as of 2019 I will have a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design from Paier College of Art. I did take Advanced Placement Art classes in High School so I have a technical understanding of the drawing basics, but I have never been trained in using markers.
So if you're looking for my sense of color, that I trained my eye to see over multiple years of schooling, but if you're looking for techniques like blending and shading that is all self taught.
Can I hire you to draw something for me?
Yes. I do commission work for clients and businesses. I charge people an hourly rate + materials + shipping (if applicable) and tax (if applicable) I also require a 50% deposit once the scope of work is finalized to get started on the final piece. If you would like to work with me to create a custom piece or product please contact me at rachel@rachelantoniadesigns.com with an idea of what you would like.
I am a shop owner/company representative and I would like to buy your products, do you sell wholesale?
Yes. I sell my prints, journals, mugs, and cards wholesale and I'm happy to work with you! My contact email is rachel@rachelantoniadesigns.com Please reach out with your required information.
