About Us

to sow: to plant a seed

to tarry: to wait, or linger longer than expected

Sow & Tarry Studio provides customers with cards that honor their pain and reassure them of their strength. We believe that a person’s scars are their greatest strength. We believe it is essential to sow connection in times of deeply personal crises. And we tarry together in sorrow.

Sow & Tarry Studio is a remembrance project of illustrator Maddy Green. Maddy has illustrated custom wedding invitations, maps, illuminated poems, two children's books, and cards for every family birthday. But when a family tragedy struck, she could not find cards that expressed her true sentiments of sympathy and shared sorrow. Cards that feel like hugs, and gifts that say, I am with you in my heart.
