About Starfangled Press

At Starfangled Press, we create art and goods that are heartfelt and witty, playful and down-to-earth. Founded in 2016 by artist Kristen Necessary, our studio is dedicated to bringing bold designs and meaningful storytelling into your daily life. From greeting cards and stickers to fine art prints, we create pieces that are personal, relatable, and just a little unexpected.

Kristen’s work is inspired by her Appalachian roots, a quirky sense of humor, nature, and the magic of life’s everyday moments. Every design is crafted in our studio, blending traditional printmaking and drawing techniques with modern digital illustration. The result? Bold, textured artwork that is authentic, engaging, and full of personality. 

Located in the heart of downtown Brevard, North Carolina—a charming mountain town known for its waterfalls and outdoor adventures—our storefront studio has become a destination for visitors from near and far. 

Southern Living Magazine described our retail shop as a “shrine to paper goods and clever design,” and we couldn’t agree more. Inside, you’ll discover Starfangled Press creations alongside carefully curated work from other talented artist-printmakers, all in a space that’s as welcoming and playful as the designs themselves.

Visitors to our studio can experience the personality, craft, and stories behind every design while enjoying a glimpse of Brevard’s vibrant creative community. From a witty card that says exactly what you’re feeling, to a sticker that adds personality to your favorite gear, or an art print that makes you do a double take, our goods stand out for all the right reasons. Helping people find joy and meaning in the everyday.

Starfangled Press delights in delivering the unexpected—sometimes playful, occasionally a little shocking, but always memorable.  Because at Starfangled Press, we believe art makes life better.
