I am Kerri Lee Johnson- an artist, curator and small business junky. 

In the Spring of 2019 I closed my brick and mortar shop Marion + Rose Fine Goods after 8 years.  I'm now shifting my 15+ years experience working with retail, manufacturers and creatives to create my own line of paper goods and objects called ​drawn by water.

I carried so many wonderful objects in the shop, but cards and paper goods were my favorite things. There was something special about watching each card being picked with intention and care- for a celebration of a life event, an acknowledgment of a passing, a kick-ass encouragement, or a sweet hello friend. I enjoy thinking about how a simple act like giving a card can carry the possibility of so much love and gratitude.  
This new project is born of this love of paper goods. The greeting cards and objects I am creating for drawn by water are made for sending good vibes + encouragement for any occasion. 
I am starting the line with my own designs and envision growing into adding collaborative designs and products.  
I am super excited to start this new endeavor and I hope you follow along with me as I grow! -Kerri
