7 Arizona artists who sell prints you’ll want to gift—and buy for yourself

These seven Arizona artists don’t just have pieces hanging in galleries—they also sell prints that you can easily gift this holiday season. 

If you’re tired of picking up the same old gifts, or you need some out-of-the-box inspiration, consider this: a print from a local artist. 

It can be so fun to flip through an artist’s work and find styles and subjects that you know would appeal to someone on your gift list. 

Prints can range from affordable, notecard-sized images, to larger, more expensive framed artwork that could really knock someone’s socks off.

Here’s a list of seven Arizona artists who sell eye-catching prints online. Their work may also appear in local stores, like Practical Art in Phoenix, which I used to find some of these amazing creators. 

Artifact Fine Art

If you’re searching for a gift for someone with whimsical style, you may find a perfect print for them in the Artifact Fine Art shop, run by Casa Grande-based artist Leah Kiser. Her prints include images like a whale hovering over a canyon, octopi holding umbrellas, and a “Sexy Rexy” T-Rex dressed in dapper clothing. 

Crafty Chica

Kathy Cano-Murillo is a Phoenix-based, Mexican American entrepreneur who sells Latino crafts and makes her living “spreading the gospel of glitter.” Her blog is full of DIY ideas, but she also has a shop with culturally vibrant art prints, T-shirts, stickers, tote bags, mugs, and more. 

Gab Art & Design

If someone on your gift list could use a cute, colorful print to brighten up their home or office, Gabby Klein’s Gab Art & Design shop is a good place to look. Klein is a Phoenix-based graphic designer who enjoys other forms of art on the side. Her prints portray objects like a small orange cactus, eating utensils, and a Topo Chico bottle. Her shop also includes stickers, greeting cards, magnets, and apparel. 

Jake Early Art Studio

Jake Early has painted beautiful murals throughout Arizona, but he also sells art in the small-scale form. HIs bold prints feature lots of outdoor subjects, with many that will appeal to Arizonans, including saguaros, prickly pear cacti, and Chiricahua National Monument. 

Look See Draw

Does the Valley make your friends and family light up? Then you’re sure to find a great gift in Aileen Martinez’s Look See Draw shop. Martinez, a Phoenix-based, Chicana artist, sells prints of her drawings of places like Crescent Ballroom, the Melrose District, ASU’s Old Main building, and the San Carlos Hotel. She also sells stickers sheets and a coloring book, and she takes commissions for specific buildings if you’re looking for one that’s not in her shop.

Shachi

Shachi Kale, an Arizona-based children’s book illustrator and graphic designer, creates art that she says explores “growth, connection, healing and inner dialogue.” Her prints feature zodiac signs, desert plants and creatures, and adorable scenes of humans and dogs. 

Steady Hand Maps

If you’re a fan of practical art, you will likely love the maps made by Phoenix-based artist Jen Urso. These prints not only look gorgeous, but they also point out beloved landmarks and businesses—see the Phoenix Coffee Map. And if there’s a place you would love to see on paper that doesn’t exist in her shop, Urso offers custom maps in various sizes. Urso also has a knack for drawing local flora and fauna, which she puts on notecards, posters, and more.
