About
The Critter Co
Artist/Owner Rachel Dyck
Charming and whimsical critter illustrations, Rachel Dyck plays with nostalgia and makes it quirky. Originally being inspired by the Victorian storybooks, like Peter Rabbit that Rachel grew up with; she uses all facets of life (the good, the bad, and the cozy) to create illustrations with a story.
More recently, Rachel has been experimenting with ceramics. The evolution from 2D to 3D objects has given her a renewed sense of creativity and inspiration. Rachel is enjoying the purposeful nature of her pottery, creating pieces that accompany those quiet daily moments you take for yourself.
The Critter Co (Formerly know as Blossom & SweetPea Critter Co) has been a passion project since 2014 and I hope to be able to continue creating what I love for many years to come.
Rachel Dyck graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Art from Trinity Western University in 2012. She started her greeting card business in 2014. In 2016 she decided to go back to school for Graphic design and attended Sir Sandford Fleming College.
I want to acknowledge that I live and work on the treaty and traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinaabeg adjacent to Haudenosaunee Territory and in the territory covered by the Williams Treaty. I want to offer my gratitude to the First People's for their care for, and teachings about the earth that I find so much enjoyment in. As a settler, I'm grateful for the opportunity to live and work here and I thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land - for thousands of years.
