Where We Work

Lowell, Massachusetts

Lake Effect Studios is based in Lowell, the old mill city on the Merrimack River. It's where Hanna paints the originals, designs the prints and figures out what the next gift should be.

A city built by makers

Lowell was built around mills and canals by people who made things for a living, and that history is hard to miss here. It suits the studio: do the work, make it well, and keep finding better ways to make it.

What happens here

Every original watercolor is painted here, one at a time. Prints are made to order and shipped straight to you, downloads arrive instantly, and the growing gift line brings a little humor to desks and kitchens well beyond New England.
