About Us

to sow: to plant a seed

to tarry: to wait, or linger longer than expected

Sow & Tarry Studio is a place where songs and stories of the woods meet handmade illustrations. It is a place for stay-at-home moms, homeschooling families, and unplugged parents to reconnect their littles with the wonders of nature through imagery-led curiosity. Because a nature-based childhood roots a human being in place, connection, and complexity, which is exactly what the next generation needs the most.

Sow & Tarry Studio was founded by illustrator maddy green in 2025. maddy's passions for architecture, gardening, social work, and child raising lead her to creating an entire illustrated world where even the littlest children are safe, where fables help explain reality, where cooperation wins out over fear, and starlight is ever present.
