About the Creator

Bearded Fellas are created by Ali Bustos in her home studio (A. Whitwood Studio). She is a wife, full-time mother, and creative dreamer.

The Story of Bearded Fellas

Bearded Fellas began when Ali found herself no longer able to paint, due to her recent entry into motherhood. With paint taking too long to prep and clean-up, Ali began experimenting with fabrics. She began making gifts for her friends' baby showers and for her own children– renditions of their fathers, who just so happened to all have fantastic beards. With each creation came joy, happiness and an inquiry for a new Bearded Fella.
