Mother/daughter team Shelly and Mary Klein founded k studio in 2004 with a clear direction: To share Shelly’s knack for delicate linear patterns and her ever-growing menagerie of richly evocative characters with as many people possible. Every k studio product starts as a canvas for these ideas, and each is manufactured to the highest standards for consistent quality, exact finishing and true sustainability.

As a fine artist, Shelly Klein’s work reflects a lifelong exploration into the themes of family, chance, and loneliness. The sometimes strange, always interesting characters that inhabit her paintings also provide endless inspiration for new k studio designs. Shelly earned her BFA in painting from Kendall College of Art & Design in 1994. In 2012, Kendall honored Shelly with its Distinguished Alumni Award.
