About

At Trek and Tern Studios, we create modern designs that reflect a love of art, travel, culture and movement. Started by Monica and Adam Meistrell in 2009, Trek and Tern Studios continues to adapt.

Monica- I am a FGCU graduate who spends most of my time raising four kids and kicking it with my pottery making husband. Nature is my playground, unless I'm stuck on a real playground, in which case I will still find a bird or person to observe. I draw, paint, and carve my images. I have a knack for realism with a bit of whimsy, and I'm currently working on a series juxtaposing ethereal birds with the temporary beauty of Mylar balloons. Let's go on a journey together.

Adam - I feel a constant tug between the hard, clean lines of graphic design and the rugged look of handmade objects. I love borders and fences. Fences invoke a sense comfort and safety, as well as the impending excitement of breaking or jumping those boundaries and exploring life beyond. The boundaries allow for both goals and adventures.

My travels throughout the world and the accompanying experiences inspire my artwork. I allude to symbols of travel and flight.

Day 10: Indigo. Staring into the weekend wondering things like: Can I run a ten mile race i signed up for when I haven’t run 10 miles. Ever. Will our mounds of laundry possibly fold themselves? Will the Chiefs win the Super Bowl? Will I finish

Day 9: Turquoise. Trying to do Florida birds and this is the only one I could think of with turquoise! The purple gallinule is the beautiful cousin to the common gallinule! I looked up their call ,hoping it wouldn’t be as bad as the common&rsqu

I’m long term subbing again— thank God it’s art!! 🎉 But having originals for all of Feathruary might not be doable. So here’s an oldy but goody! Day 7: YELLOW Close up of a larger piece- I love pink and yellow together and ro

Day 6 Prompt: Orange! Okay, okay I picked a Scarlet Tanager and that’s my prerogative 😆. Did you know this bird is named a tanager but now classified as being part of the cardinal fam? Ha! Also my little artist is Asher our 10 yr old, he&rsquo
