About

Laura, Connie, Jill and Emily

We are Things With Wings!

We are a family of artists who live in Iowa City, Iowa. We love to laugh, create, and have good times together. Over the 10 years that we have been creating and showing our work together, we’ve taken our painting to a new level by incorporating vintage and patterned paper that fuses elements of collage and paint together.  With our love for words, patterns and color, we’ve developed our own special techniques for achieving the unique look that Things With Wings has today. Our work is full of hope, humor and whimsy and celebrates faith and family.  Our goal is to give glory to God by using positive and encouraging messages that not only speak truth into our own lives but others' as well.  It's a privilege we don't take lightly and are thankful for every day!

Connie (mother): Creative Works

Laura (classic middle child): Green Girl Designs

Jill (Oldest daughter, but not by much): Paper Prayers

Emily (the baby): Singer/Songwriter and occasional blog contributor (ask her, and maybe she'll post a song!)

We bring our individual work together for shows and festivals.

Together we are THINGS WITH WINGS!
