NOTHING IN DECORAH, IOWA, compares to Storypeople.
Part of the vibrant mural on one of Storypeople’s buildings.
Among the primarily earthy buildings in this historic downtown, the vibrant splashes of Storypeople art defy like a tightrope walker daring to tread without a net.
The Storypeople building pops with color.
Historic puritans may take issue with the bold hues and quirky drawings. But I find them thrilling and invigorating and an unexpected jolt of colorful creativity in this river town.
This studio is located in a different building than the one pictured above.
Inside the Storypeople studio, a mishmash of bold colors—red paint splashed upon the floor, stacked paint cans, paint-tipped brushes, colorful stacks of books and wood, and more—define this as a creative place, a spot to spin a story with words and images.
Storypeople books from which I chose one.
It is what the people of Storypeople do best—create stories shared in books and cards and art and such.
At work…
I would love to work here.
Materials, products and inspiration.
And because I dared to step inside the studio, so I was told, I walked out with a complimentary book and greeting card. And I didn’t even mention that I was a blogger.
