About Le Blue Finch

Le Blue Finch is a mother daughter trio. We are a family run design and print studio inspired by nature, heritage, form and color. Most of all, we are inspired by stories, the small joys of life and the quiet moments that spark wonder. Each piece blends minimalist clarity with emotional resonance, reflecting both our diverse cultural heritages and passion for color, design and composition.

Every piece in our collection is original, thoughtfully created to bring warmth, curiosity, and mindful delight. We come from a family of artists and are honored to continue their legacy. We are based in the magnificent Pacific Northwest where nature offers us infinite inspirations and gratitude every day. We aspire to create art and design for people who want beauty with breath, color with calm, playfulness with intelligence, and accessible prints that still honor craft.

We welcome you into our story. Thank you for supporting independent art and design.

Why do we embrace color?

I have to begin with the disorder that left me blind for three years. During that time, I lived with minimal vision and a world reduced to gray scale. Later, the disorder also left me paralyzed, but the loss of my sight was its own kind of devastation. Although I was told my vision would never return, it did. The return was gradual and layered.


It felt as if a classical painter had begun brushing color back into my world, each shade arriving like a sensory explosion. Blue crashed over me like an ocean wave. Green felt like being swallowed by a forest. Yellow was like staring wide-eyed into the sun. It was overwhelming.

Creating and designing helped me organize the rush of color returning to my vision. They slowed me down, calmed me, and allowed me to immerse myself in color without drowning in it. In a way, all of my designs are a deep celebration of color and hope regained.
