ABOUT
Hi! My name is KJ Forman (they/them) and I am the sole owner and artist behind Luck and Lavender Studio. I create all my original designs and products in my home studio in Ottawa, Canada. I proudly identify as nonbinary, queer, and neurodivergent.
I like to describe my artistic style as bright and flowery with a hard edge. The themes of my work have closely followed my journey through living with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD, telling a continuing story of strength, hope, and growth. My current focus is on reclamation of queer and trans identity, and embracing the weirder, freakier parts of my personality.
Luck and Lavender Studio is my love letter to everyone who has something to say and wants to show the world who they are. My hope is that my work can help others on their journey the way it has helped me on mine. Thank you for being here with me!
