ABOUT THE BRAND
Peewee Bauman makes art that is whimsical and hand-drawn, inspired by an affection for words and the natural world, printed on 100% silk scarves. The artist’s prints are available on special request. This is the brand’s first collection.
The artist's brother, Dante, an artist himself, has always reminded his little sister not to slack off and to keep 'creating' . When she finally decided to start working on finessing her drawings and eventually sharing her work to others, they brainstormed what the logo and name of the brand would be. Dante pushed back against several names and told her - "You have these naive naturalist drawings, you like to write words that are sometimes not constructed in full sentences...Your art reminds me of a grown up My Melody or Little Twin Stars, the stuff you used to collect when we were kids. That is the brand. YOU are the brand Peews."Her art is heavily influenced by the natural world, specially intricate figures of marine life & corals, a tribute to the work her husband Andrew has dedicated his life to. Her love for words and philosophy are also common themes to the art she makes.THE STORY BEHIND THE BRAND
“IN BETWEEN BIRTH AND DEATH IS LIVING . SO LIVE, LOVE, CREATE.”
ABOUT THE PROCESS
Each design takes about 3-4 weeks to make, drawn on pencil before it is laid out in multi-color ways. These specific designs were laid out by artists from VIVA creatives, a boutique agency in Bangkok. There is no plan to any drawing. The composition is decided at the last minute.
A portion of the profits of every sale goes to conservation efforts of coral reefs in her native Philippines towards a small protected island called Danugan. https://danjuganisland.ph/
