"What if I fall? Oh, but what if you fly!" - Erin Hanson

Poetry exists within the hearts of young and old, and in the case of this poet, a wise heart in young form. Erin's works uplift just like the bluebird's wings in Take Off! - setting sights on the air and focusing on the positive possibilities: "There is freedom waiting for you, On the breezes of the sky, And you ask, 'What if I fall?' Oh, but my darling, What if you fly?"

What is a Spiritile?

Each Houston Llew Spiritile is carefully handmade using a series of intricate stencil techniques. From the beginning, Houston’s vision for his enameled artworks drew from the beauty of simplicity. He sought after an imagistic theme for his work rather than pursuing the abstract often seen in other enameled wall art. The image is just the beginning - each piece is paired with a quote around the sides to create an inspiring story through words and images in glass.

Houston believes that meaningful art is about emotion. Thus, every Spiritile created reflects a piece of our story. These icons stretch our memory and bring to mind the people we love, the things we cherish, and the passions we pursue. When collected, Spiritiles become a montage of moments that make us smile, laugh, remember, and dare to dream.
