Juniper and Spruce

Juniper and Spruce Handcrafted, with love. I’m Maren, the artist behind The Tin Owl. I have an eclectic background. My family means the world to me. They shape my thoughts.

It ranges from teaching and microfinance to paper-routing and dog-walking. I’m restless with a terrible case of wanderlust but I love home more than anything. The camera is an extension of my mind and it opens up new worlds to me every time I look through it. I surround myself with objects that inspire me. From the artwork on my walls to the coffee mug I drink from every morning to the jewelry I w

ear – they all contribute in some small (or large) way to my outlook on the day. My goal with The Tin Owl is to create images and products that enhance your day, that make you smile, that strike a chord and inspire you.

I’m hoping to raise some money for families impacted by 🧊 raids at my local elementary school. “Many families are now at risk of losing their homes or going without essentials like food, diapers, and other necessities for their children and babies. The stress and anxiety are overwhelming, but together, we can help provide some relief and hope.” The fundraiser is currently short about $7500 of their goal- I’d love to make even a tiny dent in that!

$2 from Minnesota flag stickers and Minneapolis, Minnesota stickers will go directly to support families in my neighborhood affected by ICE raids.

$1 from all other stickers will go directly to support families in my neighborhood affected by ICE raids.

—why stickers?— I feel my energy and time is best spent serving my community in person right now rather than in my studio making magnets and ornaments. But money is also desperately needed, and stickers are the most efficient way for me to raise what I can. Stickers are in stock, require the least labor on my part, and a comparatively low cost to produce. The Minnesota flag and Minneapolis, Minnesota stickers are at the heart of this because they also offer a visual representation of solidarity with our city and state.

Cost break down:

MN Flag / Minneapolis stickers: $2 - mutual aid, $1 - shipping costs, $1 cost of goods

All other stickers: $1 - mutual aid, $1 - shipping costs, $1 - cost of goods, $1 - helps me pay my bills

However you are able to help, thank you. More ways to help at this link. I’ll be sharing donation receipts when available. Much love and strength and peace 💜🙏
