Located near Memphis’s Broad Avenue Arts District, Whitney Winkler Art Studio + Shop has been quietly making its mark since 2021.

The beautiful, light-filled space is home to Whitney’s hand-painted artwork (she specializes in watercolor), along with a mix of new and vintage jewelry, home goods, stationery, and accessories, all curated with care and creativity.

 

We recently popped in to chat with Whitney about how the shop came to be, what inspires her work, and how she’s built a space that feels both personal and welcoming.

Shop Local: Everbloom Design

Everbloom Design is picture-perfect flower, plant, and gift shop on Broad Avenue in Memphis.

One of the coolest things about Memphis’ creative community is that we are all 1 - 3 degrees separated from each other, so over the years we are bound to connect at some point at an event or through a mutual friend.

I first met Kristin Wolter-Canfield back in 2014 when she held a DIY floral design workshop that I covered on her blog. It was a pop-up event at Propcellar, so to see her bloom into her own space in the Broad Avenue Art District has been a delight.
