Tula Pink is an illustrator, a fabric designer, a quilter, an author, a maker, and a generally good person who enjoys talking about herself.
Tula graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA.
Tired of being broke, Tula got a job, working briefly as an exhibit designer for museums in Southern California, where she grew up. When that became too quiet, she relocated to the music industry. After five years, when her ears began to bleed, she left her job.
The plan was to move as far east as she could get without needing a boat and work her way back west until she found a place she liked. Tula got about halfway before she ran out of gas money, so she stayed put.
Tula now lives in a small mid-western town outside of Kansas City, MO, in a house that used to be a barn and still sort of looks like one. Tula's primary purpose in life is fabric design. She lives for it. Her signature designs adorn fabrics, woven ribbons, paper products, needlepoint kits, embroidery patterns, sewing machines, and now irons. Her signature products are found in independent fabric shops and retailers worldwide. Recognized for her dark sense of humor, a flair for hiding animals in the strangest places (artistically, not literally), and her boldly unique use of color and pattern, Tula comes from the "more is more" school of design, where there is never enough space and always room for that one last thing.
She works all day every day and gets very cranky when asked to leave her studio or if Tula Pink is her real name.
