About The Elephant and the Owl
The Artist
Paula Phelan (that's me!) is a self-taught artist who delights in giving the perfect hand-crafted gift. I am not a big fan of the one size fits all philosophy. I like to gift things that have a little bit of me in them.
Very often, I will start a project with... “I wonder what would happen if…”, and I find joy in the mistakes that I often make and learn from them.
From candles that fill your home with beauty and fragrance to greeting cards that whisper heartfelt messages through intricate Zentangle designs, my creations are more than just objects. They are tangible expressions of joy, wonder, and the enduring value of human connection.
Why The Elephant and the Owl?
The choice of 'The Elephant and the Owl' as the name for my business goes beyond its visual simplicity. While it's true that elephants and owls are both easy and fun to draw, the decision runs much deeper. These two creatures symbolize profound qualities that resonate with the essence of my brand. The elephant, with its wisdom, strength, and familial bonds, represents enduring values and reliability. The owl, associated with intuition, knowledge, and insight, speaks to the thoughtfulness I try to bring to each of my products.
Beyond their symbolism, elephants and owls bring joy and a sense of wonder. They are whimsical and magical in their own ways.
My 10 year old grandson's involvement in designing the logo not only adds a personal touch but also brings together the intergenerational spirit of my business.
Together, these elements form a cohesive narrative that reflects the joy, wisdom, and creativity I aim to infuse into every aspect of 'The Elephant and the Owl.'
