About Us

to sow: to plant a seed

to tarry: to wait, or linger longer than expected

Sow & Tarry Studio aims to support mothers with artisan gifts that honor their pain and reassure them of their strength. We believe that a mother’s scars are her greatest strength. We believe it is essential to sow connection in times of deeply personal health crises. And we tarry together in sorrow, finding hope in each other.

Sow & Tarry Studio is a three-year-long project-in-the-making of illustrator and mother of two hard-won littles, Maddy Green. Maddy has illustrated custom wedding invitations, maps, illuminated poems, two children's books, and cards for every family birthday. But when pregnancy complications, a pandemic, a cross-country move, and a family tragedy converged, she began to search for gifts and cards that expressed her true sentiments of sympathy and understanding. Cards that feel like hugs, and gifts that say, I am with you.
