Starfangled Press, founded by artist Kristen Necessary in 2016, has become a unique space where art seamlessly intersects with everyday life. With a mission to bring more art to people’s daily routines, Kristen’s studio blends traditional printmaking techniques like woodcut, etching, screenprint, and letterpress with modern digital illustration. This fusion results in original designs that stand out with bold colors, textures, and a playful, quirky vibe. Southern Living Magazine even dubbed the space a “shrine to paper goods and clever design,” a title Kristen and her team embrace with pride.

What sets Starfangled Press apart is Kristen’s belief that original art should be affordable and accessible for everyone, without compromising its creative integrity. The studio’s work is filled with Southern Appalachian charm, offering pieces that are not only visually striking but also designed to bring joy and foster connection. Whether it’s a cheeky print or a heartfelt design, each creation invites a little extra art into people’s lives. For Kristen, it’s all about making art part of everyday living, making the world a little brighter, one piece at a time.
