Lee Hansheng Studios
Where the heart of personal mythology, nature, and cultural memory—woven into fine art, illustration, and mixed media. Melding Asian and Western influences, Hansheng’s work explores the quiet power of landscapes, the resilience of identity, and the timeless presence of art in everyday life. From celestial dreamscapes to temple ruins and political resistance, each piece invites viewers into a world that is deeply felt, richly layered, and unapologetically human.
Storm Garden Studio
Blending the raw power of nature with tranquil beauty, creating artwork that captures the balance between chaos and calm. From mixed media to digital illustration, each piece explores themes of transformation, weather, growth, and the natural form. Inspired by atmospheric energy, human anatomy, Art Nouveau, and sustainable practices, Storm Garden Studio is a haven for the wild-hearted and earth-rooted—where every storm feeds the garden.
Why We Create
We create because art is how we speak to the world when words fall short. It’s how we process truth, honor culture, reclaim joy, and connect with others on a deeper level.
At The Art Collective International, each piece we make—whether hand-crafted or digitally designed—is a reflection of who we are and what we believe in: beauty with meaning, creativity with purpose, and stories that deserve to be seen and felt.
We don’t just make art to be seen—we make it to resonate, to connect, and to endure.

More Than Just Art
Our Story, Our Craft, Our Community
Art Collective International was founded on the belief that creativity is more than craft—it’s connection, culture, and courage. We are a multi-studio artist-run collective made up of many unique studios, each bringing their own voice, heritage, and vision into our shared work.
From original paintings and handmade jewelry to wearable art and fine prints, everything we create is rooted in equity, sustainability, and intention. We price our work fairly to keep art accessible while honoring the artists and the stories behind each piece.
To us, art isn’t just something to admire—it’s something to live with. Something that resonates, uplifts, and reminds us that beauty and meaning still belong in our everyday lives.
Every piece we offer—whether a hand-poured resin pendant, a small-batch candle, a vibrant fine art print, or a custom illustration—is made with care, purpose, and attention to detail.
Our work spans both handcrafted and thoughtfully designed print-on-demand items. Handmade pieces are either created in small batches or one at a time in our studios with ethically sourced, high-quality materials. Print-on-demand collections are designed in-house and produced with partners who share our values of sustainability and craftsmanship.
We don’t chase mass production. Every design begins with inspiration, grows through sketching and refining, and becomes a finished piece meant to last. Whether you wear it, hang it, or gift it—you’re carrying a part of our story, and making it your own.
Art thrives in community. At The Art Collective International, we believe creativity is strongest when it’s shared—between artists, cultures, and those who value meaningful work. Through local markets, workshops, and our online spaces, we’re building connections that go beyond the artwork itself.
Every piece you bring home is part of a larger story—a conversation that links you to the artist, the process, and the wider community that believes in making art matter.

Art with Integrity
At The Art Collective International, we believe that art should be made with intention, not mass-produced for trends. Every candle, print, or piece of work we create is small-batch and artist-driven~ crafted by hands that care about quality, sustainability, and meaningful connection.
We don’t cut corners or chase quick fads. Instead, we honor process, slow craft, transparency, and fair pricing. Each creation is designed to resonate beyond the moment, carrying with it the spirit of authenticity and artistry. When you support us, you’re not just buying a product — you’re investing in work that’s made to matter.

🐾 Giving Back with Heart

E. Gaskins
Chris Foster's work is adorable and will fit just about anywhere! Great for gifts. I've worked with Hansheng as well and all around it has been a wonderful experience, he also offers a lot of beautiful artwork in a variety of medias and products.
L. Martin
I've ordered a handful of different items from ACI and every time I've been so happy with the quality and uniqueness of the products. There truly is something to fit every vibe while being fresh with that artisanal touch. I get compliments and questions all the time about my cute strawberry t-shirt or goldfish mouse pad I'm also obsessed with the mini paintings. Sellers are communicative and helpful. If you're looking for something eye-catching for the home, work, or to wear, I can't recommend ACI enough!
V. Kapral
I love everything I have ever received from ACI! I could spend hours browsing all the unique gifts, every day items, apparel, and hand crafted artwork on their website. I wish I could get one of each! I've gotten hand towels, a baby blanket and hat, and a gorgeous mini painting so far. People ask me all the time where I've purchased these items and I'm happy to tell them. Each artist has a unique vibe that shines through their work. If you're looking for one of a kind pieces of art, whether for functional purposes or just to brighten and beautify your space, you will find everything you need at ACI. Highly recommend exploring all they have to offer!!
