Artist Spotlight: Paula Lukey

By Diana Olsen

Artist Spotlight on Paula Lukey who is the owner and maker of HAVYN, a Toronto-based small batch company.

Graphic designer turned textile screen printer Paula Lukey is owner and maker of HAVYN — a Toronto-based small batch company focusing on eco-friendly decor products and accessories.

HAVYN hand-made and hand-printed organic cotton kitchen tea towels with the blue Ontario design and burnt orange Citrus design.

Following years of working in design and ad studios all over North America, Paula became obsessed with screen printing after taking a few courses. Seeing her work on fabric, she was hooked. Her inspirations are mainly derived from nature as well as the urban environment surrounding her.

Paula uses certified organic cotton and environmentally-friendly water-based inks in all of the textiles she screen prints. All products are hand-made and hand-printed. We love Paula’s fun and bold designs, especially our favourite flamingo print! Browse our collection of Paula’s HAVYN designs online.
