About the Artist

Shauna Swaine Woullard

All Crafty Monkey products are designed and handmade in Austin, Texas.

I create quilted artwork, handbags, and accessories that are both whimsical and sophisticated. I merge traditional quilting methods with modern technologies to generate my own distinct style of handmade goods.

Leaving behind a corporate science career in Cambridge, MA, I moved to Austin in 2002 and established The Crafty Monkey to produce and sell my quilted art and accessories.

The design shapes, fabric prints, thread lines, and quilting textures that I employ result in a unique and instantly recognizable style that transcends subject matter and medium. My fabric choices are often bold and vibrant, with fibers and materials ranging from cotton and silk prints to bamboo, sparkle vinyl and yarn.

My wallhangings are small quilts composed of fabric, thread and batting, and are typically based on my own sketches and photographs. My body of work includes series of psychedelic landscapes, iconic musicians, cartoon animals, and science textbook illustrations, as well as many other abstract or custom works.

My line of fabric accessories provides a fun and practical way to display my work. I design with an eye for quality, durability and ease of use. I have earned a loyal customer base for my items such as headbands, hair clips, bracelets, guitar straps, and handbags, and frequently receive positive feedback from satisfied customers who continue to use their Crafty Monkey creations for many years.
