Gardiner-based artist Allison McKeen will put a smile on your face with her series of designs that are bright, nostalgic, quirky and fun.

Her Instagram page is a great place to see much of her work, and posts include thrifted shirts with block printed designs and a knife-wielding tomato illustration.

What began as a personal Instagram account for McKeen in 2012 shifted to art in 2018.

McKeen’s online shop includes a wide range of items featuring her designs, including earrings, stickers, cards, prints, bandanas and tea towels.
