Welcome to Peekaloo Art Designs. Our names are Tabitha and Laralyn. Our meeting was serendipitous. Tabitha went on a trip looking for one thing (a boy) and found another, a lifelong friend, who just happened to share a love for food, wine and most significantly here, art. Laralyn has a major in art history and is a big fan of Matisse. She loves his use of vibrant color and whimsical style. Tabitha majored in Graphic Design and Art Education. She favored teaching art and is now doing so to elementary children. She is inspired by Klee and Kandinsky and also children's book illustrators, Maurice Sendak, Dr. Seuss and Eric Carle. Her love for design still holds strongly in her heart but she just wasn't able to find her niche until these two paths crossed. Both Laralyn and Tabitha found their true loves and celebrated their weddings within a week of each others. Tabitha and PJ (her husband) honeymooned in Hawaii, where Laralyn and Kevin (her husband) got married. Prior to their wedding days, they both were putting their blood, sweat and tears into the planning of their special days. They both were designing their own wedding invites at the time and through this labor of love, realized they should be sharing this common passion with the world. Their families began to grow, Laralyn now with her Parker and Ellie and Tabitha with her Olivia and another one the way, and they thought it would be wonderful to make art and designs that could celebrate all of the special moments life brings. Tabitha fled Cape Cod for a long weekend to spend some time with Laralyn and her family and bring this little sprout of an idea the blossom it long awaited. After much thought, they came up with the name Peekaloo Art Designs. Peekaloo is a word that Olivia (Tabitha's little girl) said instead of peekaboo. The freshness and charm of words spoken by children embrace the ideas behind our works. We strive to create pieces that are unpredictably unique. The style we present is influenced by the fore mentioned creators but with a modern twist. We combine the elements of texture, color and shape with a layered collage-like approach. We specialize in customized designs that celebrate all of life's special moments. It is our goal to remain unique in our style and to offer a look that is unmatched. Our creations shall truly honor all of your life's celebrations. Happy creating to all of you in your own special way. Hold tight to your dreams. Peekaloo to you!

Tabitha and Laralyn
