Tiles, magnets, wall prints, sandstone coasters, and tempered glass serving boards vividly showcase flowers, vegetables, seeds, and small animals. “Our collection includes over sixty designs,” says owner Richie Bittner. “I use Photoshop and Illustrator to do our illustrations, but they all start with pencil. Everything begins with a pencil drawing.”
Wildflower Graphics offers a handcrafted alternative to today’s Amazonsaturated world. Trillium, poppy, fiddleheads, beans, corn, and beets—paired with authentic Arts and Crafts fonts—are just a few of their unique designs.
Bittner’s studio sits on 18 acres of pristine pastoral land that both comforts and inspires. “I walk outside at night, and I can’t see another light; I can’t see another house,” Bittner says. “We’ve got wildflowers galore.”
The creation of Bittner and his first wife, Lynne, Wildflower Graphics had its genesis in a confluence of varied interests and vocations. Happenstance played a large part.
Bittner and Lynne, both musicians, ran a successful custom cabinetry business and were seasoned professionals at designing and building recording studios in New York City in the 1970s and ‘80s. While designing a studio for renowned sound effects artist Tom Clack, they were introduced to the Arts and Crafts movement.
