Hello and welcome! I’m Therese Tucker—artist, dreamer, and the hands behind Starthistle & Quartz. I’m so glad you’ve landed here.

This little corner of the internet is where art, story, and soul meet. Starthistle & Quartz is my love letter to women who crave both beauty and meaning in the everyday. It's for those who wake early to journal under soft light, who light candles while planning their week, and who know that self-expression is a sacred act.

The name was born during a magical family trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, where the words “Starthistle” and “Quartz” leapt from a shelf of imaginary potions and instantly felt like home—whimsical, natural, and utterly enchanting. That’s what I want this brand to feel like: a place of wonder grounded in intention.

Right now, you’ll find exclusive postcard-style prints and stickers in my Patreon shop, but behind the scenes, I’m building something much bigger—prints, accessories, stationery (my love!), and even home goods are on the way.

My biggest dream? To see Starthistle & Quartz in the windows of Anthropologie, sitting right next to that dreamy sardine can styling I’m completely obsessed with.

I hope this blog becomes a gentle pause in your day—a place for stories, creativity, and soulful inspiration. You’re always welcome here.
