Find Me at the Market!

I’d love for you to stop by and say hi! I’ll be offering my original art on:

Tote Bags

Made from thick, durable canvas

Zipper closure to keep things secure

Inside zipper pocket for organizing small items

Flat-bottom design so it stands upright

Two large sizes (20" × 16" and 20" × 15")—perfect for shopping or everyday use

High-Quality Art Prints

Available in 5 × 7 and 8 × 10 inches

Beautiful, vibrant reproductions of my original artwork

Stickers

Great for decorating water bottles, laptops, or notebooks

All of my designs are hand-drawn by me, Karley. I’m inspired by nature, wildlife, loved ones, and positive messaging, and I love sharing that with you through my work.

About the Market

The Downtown Farmers’ Market is held in the Historic Court District in Downtown Des Moines. It’s one of the Midwest’s largest and most beloved markets, known for its lively atmosphere with over 300 vendors at peak season. From fresh produce, flowers, handmade jewelry, local wine, and delicious food to countless one-of-a-kind handmade items, there’s something for everyone!

The market is family and pet friendly, runs rain or shine, and is the perfect way to spend your Saturday morning supporting local businesses and Iowa makers.

I hope to see you there! ❤️
