About The Letter Nest

Hi! I'm Sally, founder of The Letter Nest, downtown NYC mom, and watercolor devotee. Before launching my brand, I worked for over ten years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where I developed the artistic vocabulary and attention to detail that informs my artwork. Growing up as a faculty kid at the schools where my mom worked instilled my deep appreciation for education. By result, my artwork engages each child in learning: recognizing the pattern of A for Alligator, B for Balloon, through the artistic connection of letter and image. The idea for The Letter Nest took hold when my friends and family started to have children. I noticed a white space for elevated alphabet art. Enter The Letter Nest, a name chosen for its evocation of home, the nest, the nursery. My hope is that my work will bring joy, beauty, and delight to these spaces, as well as to the children who inhabit them.Read their story
