hello, friend —
Goldfinch
Hand drawn illustrations & lettering, made with love in the PNW. Whimsical, colorful, and just a little bit wild.

about me
that's me, hi! ✿
Hi, I'm Mary.
I'm a Spokane-based illustrator and letterer who makes things by hand — one deliberate stroke at a time. My work lives at the intersection of whimsy and intention: hand drawn lettering, surface patterns, custom illustrations, and logos that feel alive in a way digital tools alone can't quite capture. I work in color. I lean playful. I try to bring a little wonder into every piece.
My favorite kind of project is the one that starts with "I have a vague idea..." — because honestly, that's my superpower. We'll figure it out together. Custom prints, calendars people actually hang on their walls, logos for the kind of small businesses I cheer for, one-of-a-kind commissions for that gift you've been agonizing over — bring it all to me.
You'll also catch me over at @fromherespokane — a Spokane-themed art project that's close to my heart. Because this city is worth celebrating, and somebody's gotta make the art.

love to hug.
Mary is so kind and professional! Replies right away and even got my gift shipped early to make my friend's birthday in time. My print is so great, even better than expected.

Goldfinch created a perfect custom print for me with one of my favorite quotes & a custom image based off of my vague ideas. She was very helpful to help come up with an image that worked perfectly going off of not much input from me! Seller communicated quickly and clearly as well.
