OUR ORIGINS

AM 2 PM Gifts 

​

Hello and welcome! I’m Ally, the artist, creator, and heart behind AJ Art Studios and Am2pmgifts.

While we operate as two dedicated companies, we are ultimately cut from the exact same cloth. Together, they represent a family-run business driven by a singular passion: capturing the beauty of the world and sharing it with you. AJ Art Studios is where my original fine art and digital creations come to life, while Am2pmgifts transforms those meaningful designs into unique, everyday treasures and gifts.

Inspired by Everything

My creative philosophy is simple: I am inspired by everything. Every person I meet, every landscape I cross, and every creature I observe finds a way into my work.

My home on the rugged Atlantic coast of North Devon, England, is a constant muse. I look out at the beautiful, ever-changing ocean and find endless ideas in the rocky coves, the long sandy stretches of Woolacombe, and the sweeping, windy beaches of Westward Ho! with its famous pebble ridge.

The local characters—both human and wild—frequently appear in my imagination. You might find traces of the famous Westward Ho! cat who watches tourists pass by each year, the majestic red kites flying above my house, the cheeky seagulls perched on the poles in Bideford, or the robins, woodpeckers, and river otters I spot while walking my dog through the local woods and riverbanks.

A Local Heart with a Global Horizon

While my feet are firmly planted in the Devon soil, my inspiration truly knows no borders. My art carries pieces of my heart from all over the world:

• The warmth of family in Chicago and Australia (from the city streets to Kangaroo Island).

• Sun-soaked memories made in Florida.

• The moving, powerful presence of the 9/11 Memorial in New York.

• The rich culture, art, and landscapes of France, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines.

Every culture I experience and every global community I connect with shapes my digital presence and artistic vision.

Art Made to Connect

Whether you are here looking for a standout piece of art from AJ Art Studios to transform your space, or a thoughtful token from Am2pmgifts to brighten someone's day, you are receiving a piece of a global story. This is a family company, but it is infused with my personal promise to bring the beauty of our world directly to you.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I hope my art brings as much joy to your life as the world brings to mine.

With love,
Ally AM2PMGIFTS &AJ Studioz
