Hello, I’m Katie Stearns.

Welcome to Stearns Studios!

I’m an artist and designer living in Carefree, Arizona!

I create beautiful art and design for your home and lifestyle.

What I Do

Creativity takes many forms, and I love exploring them all!

From surface pattern design to oil and watercolor painting, relief printing, and digitally-painted photographs, my artistic journey is ever-evolving.

This website is dedicated to my passion for pattern design and the beautifully crafted everyday products that bring these designs to life.

“Everyday Beautiful” Boutique

Beauty should be a part of everyday moments . . .

Life is filled with small moments that deserve beauty. Whether it’s the mug that greets you in the morning, the pillow that brightens your space, or the journal that holds your thoughts, everyday objects should bring joy and inspiration.

Say Hello to “Garden Party!”

When I design a collection, I always imagine where it might live—home decor, kids’ clothing, or something else entirely.

Garden Party was designed with home spaces in mind, and this laundry room mockup shows just how fun and fresh those “forgotten” spaces can feel. With these patterns, even folding socks feels a little more joyful!
