About & artwork

Hi, I'm Tyler Powell

Painter, muralist and the person behind Fox Cottage Goods. I make art that's whimsical, uplifting and, when I can get away with it, a little bit funny.

Not me. A dog I painted. Close enough.

Where it started

Watercolor first, walls later

I started out with watercolor: soft washes, cottage gardens and woodland critters. Acrylics came next, then bigger canvases, then (inevitably) windows and walls.

My style still comes from that traditional background. Loose, hand-drawn lines, warm colors and little details you only notice on the third look.

The cottage

So what is Fox Cottage Goods?

Fox Cottage Goods is the home for everything I make. Right now murals are the main event, but the cottage is also full of paintings, prints, cards and the odd hand-painted thing that didn't fit anywhere else.

Whatever you find here, it's made by hand, in small batches, by me.

  • Original watercolor & acrylic paintings
  • Art prints and greeting cards
  • Hand-painted goods & seasonal makes
  • Commissions, when the calendar allows

Want something painted?

Windows, walls or something a little unusual, I'd love to hear about it.
