About

TYPOGRAPHY ARTIST, DAYNA BEE, WAS BORN IN PARIS, TEXAS, AND RAISED AS AN ARMY BRAT, LIVING IN GEORGIA AND GERMANY, UNTIL HER MOM AND DAD RELOCATED TO THEIR FAMILY HOME IN N.E. TEXAS, MORE RECENTLY CALLING MCCURTAIN COUNTY, OKLAHOMA, HOME. WITH A BACKGROUND IN DRAFTING AND 20+ YEARS OF HAND LETTERING AND PAINTING EXPERIENCE, SHE FOCUSES ON WEAVING HAND DRAWN LETTERS INTO VINTAGE AND ANTIQUE PIECES THAT YOUR GRANDMOTHER CHERISHED, YOUR MOM TRASHED AND DAYNA BEE (SORT OF) RESCUED. EACH PIECE MADE BY STUDIO EASY BEE IS ORIGINAL AND ONE OF A KIND, MADE WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF IRREVERENT AND UNAPOLOGETIC SPICE.

Artist Statement

Studio Easy Bee paints words that land with a smirk. Bold, tight, unapologetic typography — but the punchline is the point. The phrases are blunt, a little irreverent, and just self-aware enough to make you laugh before you realize they’re true. Big letters. Bigger attitude. Humor is the hook. Color is the megaphone. If it makes you smile in spite of yourself, it’s doing its job.
