The Long Lost Story

In 2018, I was living in the middle of the desert with two useless degrees. I thought, “It’s either start drawing or get a job at Target.”

When I decided to launch Caroline Clark Designs I knew I wanted to bring the joy and nostalgia of being outside to everyone stuck inside.

There’s a part of my brain that sees unique elements in the world and is obsessed with figuring out how to turn these details into art. And for me, there is nowhere more inspiring than the great American West.

In 2024, I took another big leap and opened up Long Lost Studio in Colorado Springs. Brick and mortar in my current hometown has always been my dream, and now I get to live that out surrounded by a team made up of good friends and family.

Long Lost Studio is kind of like being around a campfire with your people, but with comfy couches, shipping boxes, and a barista next door.

Whatever quirky, colorful, conceptual art we create, we hope it inspires you toward your next adventure.

Thanks for being on this one with me.
