The story
Two studios, one haunted house
Maren Baxter's poetic paper worlds have enchanted millions. Our studio has spent 25 years turning paper into celebrations. When the two finally met, the result was inevitable: a haunted house where every ghost waves hello, drawn by Maren's hand and brought to life in heavyweight paperboard, gold foil, and soft built-in light.
I'm so excited to partner with My Mind's Eye, and I think we have created something truly amazing together. It's just the start of the journey, and there's so much more to come.
